CLC moves auto collision repair classes

College of Lake County's automotive collision repair classes are now in a renovated building on the flagship Grayslake campus. The auto body shop is in the refurbished Building 12. The $1.6 million project was completed under CLC's master plan, allowing the school to expand the automotive collision repair program to offer a full daytime schedule of courses. Previously, the program had only evening classes because it leased facilities at the Lake County High Schools Technology Campus, which used the same facilities during the day. "We'll be able to offer classes in the morning and midafternoon, doubling our courses," said Octavio Cavazos, instructor and department chair. "We will also have open lab times so our students can spend extra time improving their skills, something most of them can't do at home." CLC officials, partners and local body shop representatives recently toured the facility on the campus' north side.
