The Welding Wing features the following spaces that equip and support training for Aims Welding Technology students:

  • Welding prep area
  • Welding lab
  • Fabrication shop
  • Cold storage
  • Classrooms
  • Faculty offices
  • Locker rooms

Note: Due to class schedules and safety requirements for welding equipment, the Aims Welding Technology program classrooms and other spaces are not available to the general public or other departments without prior department approval.

The Greeley Welding Fabrication Shop is the final step in each student's journey and represents the culmination of your learned skills. 

This space houses the majority of the department’s large industrial fabrication equipment, including a 42-ton press brake, ten-foot metal shear, 60-ton ironworker, various metal cutting saws, drills, mills, welding equipment, a 10,000-pound Overhead Crane, and one of the most advanced and capable 6-axis X-Definition CNC Plasma Cutters in Northern Colorado, capable of near-laser precision on steel more than 2" thick.

The Fabrication Shop is the primary teaching space for your final two Welding Technology Associate Degree classes and represents both challenges and progress as you begin your final preparation to enter the welding industry.

Welding Locker Rooms

Rooms 171 and 173

Locker Rooms with showers give students a convenient place for storing personal equipment between classes and for changing into and out of their protective gear necessary for working in the lab.
