Three new mobile advanced manufacturing labs that are the result of a unique collaborative initiative with Piedmont Technical College, Aiken Technical College and Orangeburg-Calhoun Technical College will be unveiled during a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 10 a.m. on Monday, Feb. 3.
The ceremony will be held at the William H. “Billy” O’Dell Upstate Center for Manufacturing Excellence on Piedmont Technical College’s Greenwood Campus, according to a news release from Aiken Tech.
