In early 2005, the Montana State Legislature approved $11 million for campus expansion. A 45,000 square foot two-story building west of the original facility in Great Falls was completed and occupied in January 2008. The expansion includes an expanded library and student computer lab, health science classrooms, additional meeting rooms, science laboratory space and faculty offices. The 2007 Montana State Legislature appropriated $3million for a separate Construction and Industrial Trades building. Groundbreaking took place in August 2007 and the facility was put in use fall of 2008. This building addresses the extreme need in north-central Montana for trained skilled-trades workers entering the workforce. Currently, carpentry and welding programs are housed in this building with the potential for a third trade program to be developed. MSU-GF has expanded course offerings to the Bozeman area and has a physical location on the campus of Montana State University. MSU-GF provides specialized instruction and workforce development to the Gallatin Valley. Bozeman area residents are also able to enroll in MSU-GF programs including aviation, interior design and welding technology in which students can attain a Certificate of Applied Science in Welding Technology, an Associate of Applied Science in Aviation or an Associate of Applied Science in Interior Design. In addition, MSU-GF offers specialized training in Technical Centers located in Great Falls and Bozeman. These Centers address specific training needs of the local business communities.
