GCC Alumni! Did you know the Verdugo Campus is now home to one of the best welding training facilities in the region? Work crews recently completed the conversion of the former Verdugo Fire Academy into the nearly 6,000 square foot state-of-the-art training space in the Tongva Building (formerly the Aviation/Arts Building). The project allows the welding program to double its student capacity. We now have the latest tools to train our students in a skill set that is always in demand and will only become more valuable with all the construction needed for the 2028 LA Summer Olympics, said Mark Dieny the department chair and welding instructor.
