  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Red Rocks Community College on the completion of their 
Arvada campus expansion. This expansion triples the size and capacity 
of the current campus located in Arvada, Colorado. I applaud Red Rocks 
Community College on this $22.5 million expansion project as it is the 
largest expansion project in the history of the

college. This expansion will have a lasting impact on generations to 
come as well as result in significant economic impact for the Kipling 
Corridor and Ralston Road Corridor and Arvada and Wheat Ridge 
communities.
  The Physician's Assistant Program at Red Rocks Community College is 
one of the first of its kind in the country. The relocation of this 
program to the new Arvada Campus will allow for even more students to 
participate in this unique program. In addition, the new campus will 
house all of the college's health professions programs in one place and 
will host more than four times the current number of faculty and staff.
  I congratulate the Red Rocks team for their success on this important 
expansion. I applaud the school and faculty for their dedication to 
this project and their leadership and commitment to helping community 
college students blaze a path for our country's future leaders and 
innovators. I am proud of the work Red Rocks Community College does 
every day and I look forward to celebrating future accomplishments of 
the school and its students in the years to come.
