In the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina, Blue Ridge Community College drives local workforce development efforts and empowers students to reach their professional summits.

In 2022, the College built a $23.4M state-of-the-art facility in Henderson County which houses 6,200 square feet of flexible industrial space called Flex Labs. Inside the Patton Building, these two adaptable labs are upfit with gas, water, air, and electrical connections required for industrial and customized training operations. The two labs are connected through expansive bay doors, but can be utilized separately through unique entryways. Adjacent are two furnished offices and a fully-equipped classroom with presentation technology. Just down the hall, the production-ready Stephen D. Wyatt Auditorium provides seating for 105, a green room, and a dressing room.
