The University of Montana College of Technology needs legislative help

The primary COT facility was built 42 years ago and was intended to hold 700 students; today, more than 2,000 are enrolled on the campus.

Construction on University of Montana’s main campus has been prevalent the last five years, and our campus has gorgeous new structures to prove it. The Payne Family Native American Center, Don Anderson Hall, even the glistening new luxury boxes in Washington Grizzly Stadium — much of it is a testament to the generosity of private donors who have devoted millions to this school’s facilities.

This is what we see every day — and it’s not hard for students on the main campus to often take for granted how comfortable and spacious the facilities really are. A mile and a half south at the UM College of Technology, where enrollment has been booming in the past two years, many students are learning in trailers set up in a parking lot.
