Building a Better Campus

This spring, the college officially unveiled the newly renovated Blue Federal Credit Union Recreation & Athletics Complex, a bright, modern hub designed to better serve students, athletes and the community alike.

The revitalized facility boasts an updated gymnasium, enhanced locker rooms and expanded fitness spaces, offering students more ways to stay active, unwind and connect. The transformation wasn鈥檛 just cosmetic; it was about creating a space that feels welcoming, energizing and student-centered.

The refreshed center will continue hosting Golden Eagle athletic events and community gatherings, while expanding intramural, wellness and recreational offerings for students and staff.

With its doors now open, the Blue Federal Credit Union Recreation & Athletics Complex is once again a vibrant place for students to gather, compete and recharge 鈥� a true cornerstone of life at 猫咪社区APP.

Exterior Renewal Project

Laramie County Community College has begun the Exterior Renewal Project with upgrades to the Center for Conferences & Institutes, marking the first step in a four-phase plan aimed at dramatically improving the appearance of the Cheyenne campus. The Andrikopoulos Business & Technology Building and Advanced Manufacturing & Material Center, which underwent similar renovations in 2019 and 2024 respectively, serve as clear examples of the impact these enhancements can have on campus aesthetics, although they are not part of the current phase.

In June, work continued with facade renovations on the Administration Building, the Training Center and Auto Tech. These upgrades, featuring stucco, stone, brick and metal for a unique, yet cohesive, look across each structure, are scheduled for completion by October 2026, at which point Phase 1 of the project will conclude. Construction costs for each building are estimated between $2 million and $2.65 million.

Other Improvements

Parking lot improvements

Scheduled for completion by mid-August, renovations to parking lots H and I, adjacent to Auto Tech, The Training Center and Plant Operations, include more than just repaving. The $1.1 million project will improve ADA accessibility, regrade surfaces, install new entry approaches and address drainage concerns, with the lots expected to reopen by August 15.

Fire Mitigation Project

A significant campus-wide fire pump installation is planned, going out to bid at the end of June. This project will support
water pressure for firefighting capabilities both for external hydrants and internal sprinkler systems.

Academic Learning Spaces Master Plan

While still in early stages, this initiative will evaluate classroom spaces, conduct utilization analysis and develop consistent
standards for classroom technology, security, acoustics and furniture flexibility.

Additional Campus Projects

Several smaller maintenance projects are underway at both 猫咪社区APP campuses in Cheyenne and Laramie, including heat pump
replacements at the Laramie campus, roof replacements for the Fine Arts Building, the Education & Enrichment Center and the Training Center, a new fire suppression system in the Blue Federal Credit Union Recreation & Athletics Complex, LED lighting replacements in the Center for Conferences & Institutes, and restroom renovations in the College Community Center. The Children鈥檚 Discovery Center also is receiving new playground equipment.
