The groundbreaking and photos will take place at the construction site located on the EWC North Campus at 3401 West C Street in Torrington. Everyone is encouraged to meet at CTEC for a brief program and then proceed to the North Campus. A shuttle will be available.

A reception will be held in the Smith Commons in the CTEC building immediately following the ceremony. The public is encouraged to attend this event.
