Google is the latest contributor to a new, multi-million-dollar workforce training skills center currently under construction at Columbia Gorge Community College’s main campus in The Dalles. Google’s $55,000 grant will provide the latest additive manufacturing technology that students will use to create customized components and new inventions in a new, collaborative makerspace. The company’s gift to CGCC allows the college to equip the makerspace with a 3D-printer, laser engraver, water cutter, milling machine, studio system furnace and other equipment. Along with the new workforce training skills center, CGCC is building affordable student housing on its main campus. The combined $16 million project is slated to be completed in July.
