The Hanson Technology Center – A defining asset for the College and the Region
The region’s manufacturing and energy industries have made it clear – they need more well-qualified employ-ees to help power their businesses. To meet that demand now and for generations to come, Lake Michigan College is developing the Hanson Technology Center – an asset that will solidify manufacturing as a powerful economic force in southwest Michigan, the Midwest and beyond.
The Center, spurred on by a $1.5 million gift from Merlin and Carolyn Hanson, will reflect the new future of manufacturing, attracting new people – men and women – to the industry, providing a steady stream of quali-fied, ready to work employees that are critical to the success of every manufacturing enterprise.
The Hanson Technology Center will be an education and training center, a magnet for a new generation of skilled workers. With its modernistic design, open, flexible classrooms and labs, the Center and its programs will retool students’ minds to the opportunities available to them in manufacturing. The Center will:
• Encourage more current and prospective students to explore the opportunities and potential of careers in manufacturing and energy.
• Support the development and delivery of high-quality education and training programs for manufacturing, ranging from entry-level skills to more advanced programs that reflect industry needs.
• Provide for expansion and creation of new programs that respond to the current and anticipated needs of business.
We are pleased to share with you this important project and invite you to join the College in making this ex-citing new Center a reality. Your support will help attract more of our region’s best and brightest to the critical manufacturing industry, ensuring a vibrant future for Michigan’s Great Southwest.
“What I value in the College’s proposal to build this Center,
is that they have taken a fresh approach to how they will
deliver programs, reach out to prospective students and, most importantly, how they will work with the whole student to help
them succeed. “
Rick Blake, President

Manufacturing – our region’s economic cornerstone.
The Hanson Technology Center is more than a new building. It will support
manufacturing as the economic cornerstone of this region – a cornerstone that,
according to the Economic Policy Institute, “for each job manufacturing creates, three
other jobs are created in the wider economy.”
“Lake Michigan College will be the community resource for manufacturing education and skills training with this Center.”
Matt Tyler, President/CEO Vickers Engineering, Inc.

Building Student interest in Manufacturing
To attract new students into manufacturing programs, the College will partner
with schools and the community-at-large to encourage students to explore the
opportunities in manufacturing. The will be designed so that it is visually accessible,
helping students see first-hand how the manufacturing and energy industries really
look and work. The open classroom and lab design will allow prospective students to
see current students and faculty at work.
By locating the Hanson Technology Center on the Napier Campus, adopting new
education and training delivery strategies, and creating new programs, the College
expects to increase enrollment in technical programs by up to 10% within two years. VisioningBehaviors for New

What is the future of manufacturing?
Business and Industry leaders provided responses during the design charrette to the
question, “what is the future of manufacturing?” Responses provided insight into
both future employee and project expectations. This feedback was used to develop
the project goals and design.
Flexibility to Serve Students and Business
The College will focus on flexibility to meet the needs of area manufacturing.
Temporarily displaced workers may not be able to attend classes through a traditional
fall-winter-spring-summer class structure. To respond to this, rolling admissions and
modular based instruction will provide students with educational opportunities on
a time frame that works for them. Classes through the Tooling University will offer
online instruction in lieu of traditional lectures. This curriculum was developed by
the Society of Manufacturing Engineers to include online simulations. Students can
complete coursework through Hanson Technology Center labs after finishing online
portions.

Innovation at WorkThe Hanson Technology Center is a facility designed to infuse creativity in students
and the community. Thinking innovative and creatively is a problem solving skill
that can be taught. Innovation education, delivered through the Fab Lab, will allow
groups to follow projects from idea through prototype—focusing on teamwork,
critical thinking, project management, and problem solving. The programs will
be available to students, businesses, and the community. The College will develop
a curriculum that will be applicable across a wide range of disciplines. Upon project
completion, prototypes can be displayed in a common space for community viewing.
The Learning Spiral
Manufacturing drives innovation. With
innovation come new opportunities, new
