When: Thursday, September 16
4:00 PM Precision Machining

5:00 PM The Harry & Virginia Murray Art Gallery
Where: 1500 West Agency Rd, West Burlington
Why: Total cost for the facility and equipment upgrades tops $1.25 million.
The renovated labs will facilitate expanded learning and teaching opportunities for skills development. The upgrades were funded by the State of Iowa’s Accelerated Career Education (ACE) program.
Open in 2020, the art gallery includes adjustable walls to transform the space to match the art collection’s essence. This space has both increased educational experiences for SCC’s fine arts and music programs and added a new area to exhibit the work of Iowa artists. The gallery was made possible by a grant from The Murray Foundation.
