    Building tomorrow’s workforce today! Our future is bright with Aims Community College leading the way in workforce excellence. Become an ACE Partner. Visit greeleygov.com/ACE anuary 2017 marks Aims Community College’s 50th anniversary and, as Aims’ sixth president, I invite you to join us in a year-long celebration! J Aims Community College has proudly been educating students since the fall of 1967 when it opened its doors to 949 students. We’ve grown from the vacated Lincoln Elementary School building at 5th Avenue and 11th Street in Greeley to serving more than 7,000 students annually at our beautiful locations in Greeley, Windsor, Fort Lupton, Loveland and online! Over the past 50 years, 29,351 learners have graduated with 38,100 degrees and certificates. The vision for Aims Community College has remained true over our 50-year history: student success and support. We help students aim for and reach their goals by providing wrap-around services such as intensive academic advising, coaching, tutoring, four-year transfer preparation, education for economic and financial literacy, and support about financial aid and scholarships. The original Aims Community College governing committee adopted an “open door” philosophy which stated that “no student will be denied admission to Aims College because of financial inability, lack of a high school diploma or poor entrance examination scores.” With low tuition, scholarships and grants, we provide everyone with the opportunity to go to college and have a better career. We have maintained these values over five decades while the college continues to evolve. I am very proud of our college! We have a strong, positive reputation in our communities because of our dedicated faculty and staff, high quality comprehensive programs and services, financial stability, affordable tuition, beautiful campuses, strong community partnerships, and a culture that cares about its people, both those who work here and learn here.

  • JBA 1NCORPORATED Aims Community College Greeley, Colorado Master Plan
    JBA 1 ncorporated WWW.JBA 1.com JBA [email protected] Aims Community College Master Plan Greeley, Colorado JBA Incorporated worked with Aim Community College to develop its first comprehensive master plan along with recommending physical planning processes to assure the campus physical needs are programmatically driven at all times. Aims Community College master plan is somewhat unique because it has three levels of planning involved. Aims Community College resides in Greeley, Colorado, which is its main campus, Fort Lupton, Colorado, and Loveland, Colorado. Each campus at Aims Community College is of varying scales. The Loveland campus is an urban site that includes two buildings. The Loveland plan is an urban plan in downtown Loveland. This plan will look out almost ten years for immediate improvement. The second level of the Aims Community College plan is at the Fort Lupton campus. The Fort Lupton campus consists of an 80-acre parcel that development will be required to meet community and local needs and the community college academic issues. This plan is a cross between a building and landscape design and a traditional master plan. The largest component of the Aims Community College master plan is at their main campus in Greeley. This plan is consistent to traditional plans which includes overall goals and objectives, design principles that drive the physical design of the campus, new space management processes and procedures, a new facilities audit, and other planning components. The Greeley plan includes all aspects of a major university’s master plan, from utilities to bikeways, vehicular circulation, parking, pedestrian topography, etc.
