The Western Slope now has 13,000 square feet of state-of-the-art conference space available in the heart of Glenwood Springs.

Colorado Mountain College’s Morgridge Commons celebrated its grand opening Monday. It was the culmination of a number of partnerships between funders, the college, and the communities it serves.

“When I started a little over four years ago, this was 13,000 square feet of concrete shelled space. There was nothing in here,” said CMC President Carrie Besnette Hauser.

Debbie Wilde and Tresi Houpt hosted planning charettes so the college could gather community feedback on how the space could best address needs.
