GILLETTE, WYOMING - Gillette College is celebrating the opening of its new $36.8 million Technical Education Center.

The community college scheduled tours, a reception and even fireworks for Monday to mark the completion of the multiyear project.

The 74,000-foot Tech Center will house the college's diesel technician program, culinary academy, welding center and industrial electronics program. It will also house classes for students in the engineering and mining technology programs.

With the addition of the new building, all of the college's programs will be located on campus. The state and Campbell County split the project cost, which sits on 13 acres contributed by the city of Gillette.

The building includes an underground cistern to store up to 30,000 gallons of rainwater from a roof collection system.
