Assiniboine College has opened its new Creative CoLab, a $750K community workspace equipped with 3D printers, projectors, a laser engraver, and crafting stations. The lab is open to the public and the college is currently exploring partnerships with local organizations to encourage activity at the lab. The college hopes that the lab will help to keep graduates in the community. “I want more [graduates] to be able to stay if they want to,” CoLab Coordinator Derek Ford told the The Brandon Sun. “It’s not enough to educate people and hope things happen, you have to put the pieces together.” Funding for the lab was supported by Prairies Economic Development Canada.
