Remodeling Plans For Sheridan College Building Moving Forward

Sheridan College is picking up the pace on its plans to remodel a building on the opposite side of I-90 from the campus.

The remodeling job is the inside of the 25,000 square foot, Advanced Manufacturing and Applied Sciences Building, located on the southeast corner of the Heartland Drive and Solutions Way intersection.

College President Doctor Walter Tribley says it took some time to gather concepts and ideas on what the remodeling should have, and now the project is in the design phase.

The projected timeline is to find a contractor by April, break ground sometime this summer, and have students in the building by fall of 2024.

Doctor Tribley adds when finished, the building will enhance career and technical educational programming at the college and will allow entrepreneurs to go to the building and work with the college on some ideas.

“This building will have the Sheridan College manufacturing incubator in it for new businesses to start or new product lines from existing businesses, where an existing business wouldn’t have to take their machines off-line. They could come to the college and work out an arrangement to develop a prototype of a new product, etcetera, or machines they may or may not have, they can come use ours.”

Doctor Tribley says the building will have an uncompleted second floor for future use.

The building was gifted to the College in 2019, by the Seven Pillars Foundation.
