Green River Community College Trades Complex

[enlarge]

Green River Community College has opened a new Trades Complex, located across the street from the main campus at Southeast 320th Street and 124th Avenue Southeast in Auburn.

The 55,000-square-foot building houses the college's automotive, carpentry, manufacturing and welding programs. Total project cost was $34.6 million.

It includes two automotive labs, classrooms and a tool room. The carpentry lab uses a dust collection system that vacuums wood dust and pipes it outside, where it is collected in large barrels for recycling.

Large sliding doors lead to the gallery area, allowing vehicles to be driven inside for display.
