Gillette Community College District Summary

Gillette Community College District was founded in 2021 after separating from our previous district by receiving overwhelming community support to create a new, independent college district. We are excited to create the foundation for the new college that supports Gillette-specific community needs as well as prepares students to gain fulfilling careers, or transfer to a four-year institution. GCCD is seeking a Facilities Director to help guide that growth from a facilities and construction management perspective. GCCD is in the early stages of constructing a new facility on campus that will house both the library and the science labs.

Gillette College sits on 100+ acres, has 12 buildings on campus and two buildings elsewhere in the community, totaling over 375,000 square feet. We have one of the best athletic venues in the country for basketball, volleyball, and soccer teams, and our residence halls are relatively new construction. The oldest building on campus was completed in 2003.
