CLC has officially dedicated its Living Lab Trail during an event during our 50th Anniversary Week in September 2019.
The Living Lab Trail transforms CLC's campus into a meta-learning experience, not just a place to learn, but also a place from which to learn.
Interpretative signage for main features on the outer trail connect that highlight on the campus with issues and opportunities both in the community and with similar issues around the world. The backsides of these signs connect learning opportunities at the college with related careers in that field. Interpretative signage fosters a connection between the campus features and the world around us, stimulates critical thinking and connects technology with meaningful careers.
