GCCC Going Through Some Long Awaited Changes

Some of the construction will continue after the students return for fall semester.  The total amount for the renovations is a little more than three million dollars. 

Among the improvements Garden City Community College are tackling this summer is a relocation of the welding facility from the John Collins vocational building to a property on Spruce Street a few steps from the new student on campus housing.
