New Sheridan College Innovation Center!
During the Sixty-Sixth Legislature, 2022 Budget Session, Senate Enrolled Act 019, Original Senate File SF0067, the funding for the Sheridan College Innovation Center was appropriated.
The Architect for the project was MOA Architects of Casper, WY and the Construction Manager at Risk was Dick Anderson Construction of Sheridan, WY. The project was completed on time and on budget and used over 93% Wyoming Resident Contractors.
Sheridan College’s most recent building renovation and expansion, the Sheridan College Innovation Center, was completed in June of 2024. The space will support students and community members who are pursuing career opportunities in manufacturing or construction trades and also includes the new Manufacturing Incubator.
A growing need for highly trained and skilled workers in these trades created the concept for this project and has turned it into a multi-use facility that can provide the education and training needed for those in various trades to be successful in their careers.
This newly upgraded 28,000 sq. ft. space is filled with a variety of training labs and equipment, designed to provide hands-on skills development that combines industry standards, classroom instruction, and real-life lessons. Cutting-edge design elements will consider the needs of each creator and work through “proof of concept” stages, taking an initial idea through necessary steps to create a feasible, tangible result.
The space includes:
• Overhead crane to support the Construction Technology Program
• 3D Printing Lab
• Advanced Manufacturing Labs
• Collaboration Space
• NEW Manufacturing Incubator
• Faculty Offices
