Colorado Mountain Junior College District has announced the selection of a team lead by The Scion Group to complete a student and workforce housing feasibility study for its seven campuses.

Finally, the advisors will provide an implementation plan that will identify methods to implement the recommendations such that they complement the College’s mission.
