Richland Community College welcomes the use of its facilities by community groups, nonprofits, businesses, and partner organizations—provided such use supports the College’s mission of education, workforce development, and community engagement.
Richland’s campus offers a wide range of event spaces to suit your needs. The Shilling Community Education Center features two spacious salons, a 325-seat auditorium, and multiple meeting and conference rooms. The National Sequestration Education Center (NSEC) provides additional options, including classrooms and a large meeting/conference space. The Michael D. Andreas Agriculture Building offers flexible classroom space ideal for workshops, trainings, and small-group events. Additional classrooms are available throughout the main campus, along with computer labs equipped for meetings that require access to technology.
The College is also home to Progress City USA, which is the Midwest’s premier outdoor convention facility. This site encompasses more than 80 acres of exhibit space including indoor exhibition space spread across 12 buildings.
