UBTech is opening the doors to their new state-of-the-art welding building and the public is invited to the building’s grand opening later this month. The need for the facility goes without saying, with over 2,000 students in the past five years being involved with the program in Roosevelt and Vernal. With a looming nationwide shortage of welders, UBTech President Aaron Weight knew that they needed a dedicated space to expand their program and in 2016 plans for the 13,570 square-foot $4.5 million dollar building got underway. “The new Welding Center building is the culmination of a visionary College, a generous Legislature, and the dedication of many working professionals,” shares Matt Boyer, DFCM project manager. “This building will not only serve the community of the Uintah Basin for many years to come, but it will serve all of the State of Utah through an elevated and skilled workforce entering the marketplace. It was an honor to participate in such a project and to work with so many talented professionals in the Basin.” To celebrate the achievement, the public is invited to attend the building’s grand opening
on Thursday, March 21st at 2:30pm
. The building is located on the southwest side of the Roosevelt UBTech Campus, east of the new Union High School.
