Kirkwood Community College's Main Campus in Cedar Rapids already has a lot of advantages for students, with 1.85 million square feet of learning space.
But Kirkwood doesn't just teach in the classroom. Students have the opportunity for truly unique, hands-on learning experiences at two remarkable facilities:
