Gillette College Board Approves Enzi Center Contracts, Highlights Enrollment Updates The Gillette Community College District Board of Trustees convened on March 25 at the Gillette College Technical Education Center to discuss new building projects, accreditation status, and recent state funding adjustments. The board approved the meeting agenda, which included a spending report for MOA Architecture, and ratified consent items such as minutes from the February 18 meeting, a staffing report, and financial statements for February. A resolution was also passed designating April 2026 as Gillette Community College Month to honor the institution’s role in workforce training and its service to Campbell County. Key developments regarding the Enzi Applied Learning Center were addressed, with the board signing a Construction Manager at Risk contract with Sampson Construction. Additional services from MOA Architecture were approved to handle construction documentation through project completion, with a total cost of up to $1,988,960, plus $95,000 for related expenses. Stifel was selected as the bond underwriter at $3.50 per bond, a more cost-effective option compared to other proposals. The board also reviewed an updated maintenance policy that restricts spending without board approval, ensuring the main fund remains intact while utilizing only interest earnings. President Dr. Janell Oberlander announced that the college’s accreditation response had been accepted, with a hearing scheduled for April 14. Tuition increases were approved for the upcoming academic year, with in-state students facing a $7 per credit hike and out-of-state students seeing a $21 increase, marking the first tuition adjustment in five years.#gillette_community_college_district #moa_architecture #sampson_construction #stifel #tiffany_enamorado
