MCC celebrated the grand opening of the new MCC-Longview Automotive Institute with a ribbon-cutting ceremony in Lee’s Summit.

The $27.9 million expansion doubled the space for automotive training, increased enrollment capacity by nearly 50%, and introduced a new Diesel Technology program to help address regional workforce needs. The state-of-the-art facility brought collision repair, automotive technology, and diesel technology programs together under one roof, featuring 24 work bays, expanded training areas and a modern industry-inspired design.

“This investment will positively impact MCC students and the automotive industry in our region for generations to come,” said MCC Chancellor Dr. Kimberly Beatty.

Thank you to our Maple Woods Veterinary Technology alumni who returned to campus with an incredible lineup of exotic animals — from tarantulas and snakes to tortoises, geckos and a hedgehog! 😄🕷️🐍🦔 Students had the chance to gain hands-on experience, build confidence, and learn safe handling techniques for a variety of species.

Experiences like these help future RVTs prepare for real-world practice while reminding students that learning continues long after graduation. Thank you to our alumni for sharing your knowledge and helping inspire the next generation of veterinary technicians!
