Craig Campus Construction News & Updates

In March of 2010 Colorado Northwestern Community College entered into a contract with Adolfson and Peterson to serve as general contractor for the construction of the new campus facilities in Craig. The site will be located next to the newly constructed Memorial Hospital of Craig, a short distance from the current campus. The construction of the new academic and career technical building will take about 17 months. The 14,000 square foot Career Technical Building, designed to allow students to develop practical skills, will house the Power Plant Technology, Cosmetology, Massage Therapy, and Industrial Electrician programs. Additionally, the Mine Safety Training program and specialized mine training for local and regional mines will be located in this facility. The 70,000 square foot academic building will be home to all of the Craig Campus general academic programs including Nursing. This building will have several large and medium classrooms, science laboratories, a library, an adult learning assistance center and a student lounge area.

Also during this same construction period Chevron Energy Solutions will install the first phase of a geo exchange system which will be used to heat and cool the new campus. In addition to the academic and career technical buildings the campus will also open for occupancy its first residence hall. This facility will provide housing for 32 students. Each unit will have two double rooms, and living room/study area, a bathroom, laundry room and a complete kitchen.

Colorado Northwestern is excited about this expansion and we look forward to providing a modern facility for our students to pursue their educational goals.
