Pellissippi State Community College President L. Anthony Wise Jr., far right, welcomed visitors to the new Megalab at the college's Strawberry Plains Campus Friday, Sept. 18. Pictured with Wise, from left, are Mike North, Strawberry Plains Campus dean; Warren Nichols, Tennessee Board of Regents vice chancellor for community colleges; and Rhonda Sparks, continuous learning business partner at Keurig Green Mountain Inc.
Pellissippi State hosted the grand opening of the Megalab, an economic and workforce development partnership initiative, in the Jenny and Randy Boyd Building at the college's Strawberry Plains Campus.

The lab houses equipment for advanced manufacturing, additive manufacturing (3D printing), homeland security and sustainable living courses. The facility's unique setup is available to students not only from Pellissippi State, but from Tennessee College of Applied Technology Knoxville and the Career Magnet Academy at Pellissippi State.

"Each and every one of our students has promise, each of our students has a pathway to success, and every one of our students can benefit from our partnerships with the community, both on and off campus," said L. Anthony Wise Jr., Pellissippi State's president, during the grand opening ceremony. "Those facts are very evident in this Megalab, this place of shared vision in how to create educational and economic opportunities in this area of East Tennessee."
