Come See What's New at Heartland!

There's so much happening at Heartland with the addition of new buildings, programs and support services. We invite you to come feel the excitement and start your journey at HCC.

Agriculture Complex

Over the last two years, Heartland has increased the number of courses and certificates available in our agriculture program in preparation for our exciting new Agriculture Complex. This 29,500 square foot facility provides learning space for plant science, soil analysis, precision planting technology, drone technology, heavy equipment, agribusiness, and more. The Agriculture Complex serves as the focal point of our agriculture education and training programs, preparing a skilled workforce to help fill these vital roles within our community.

Advanced Manufacturing Center & State Farm Electric Vehicle Lab

Heartland is also planning for the expansion of our Career and Technical Education programs with the 45,000 square foot addition of learning space in our Advanced Manufacturing Center. The facility features the cutting-edge State Farm Electric Vehicle Lab and provides innovative spaces for hands-on instruction in robotics, renewable energy, and digital media. There is an increased need in our community for specialized, skilled workers in these areas, making it possible for students to find employment right after graduation.

What I love about Heartland is the community. The faculty and staff are so friendly and want to see you succeed. I loved having a supportive group of professors, mentors, and success coaches who helped me achieve my goals.
