The open house will take place the same day as a ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate the new Bemis Student Center. MWCC students, faculty and staff; Massachusetts leaders; community representatives will come together on Sept. 13 at 11 a.m. for that ceremony.

The open house celebrates the completion of the 100-day long construction of the 4,500 square foot facility. The space creates a new epicenter of student life and activity in the heart of the Gardner Campus. The college has had student-dedicated spaces in the past but this will surpass them all and truly be student-centered from the outset.

The goal was to create a versatile space where students can relax, hang out and socialize. The student center will feature a lounge and meeting space, group study area, game room and televisions. In addition to indoor space, the center will open out to a green space with outdoor wifi and seating.

The ribbon cutting ceremony of the new center will be commemorated with a speaking program, unveiling of the naming of the building, and tours of the new facility. During the ceremony, Bemis Associates, Inc. will be recognized for their $500,000 donation through the Bemis Community Investment Fund that helped fund the center.

The Open House is designed to be a time for community members to tour the space and learn more about this student-centered addition to the Gardner campus.
