Community action needed for AMC 

​The Advanced Manufacturing Collaborative 


Picture
"The AMC is a game-changer for the community. It will bring research and development through a whole new, vibrant partnership between USC Aiken and the National Laboratory.  This has the potential to take Aiken to the next level and will be a catalyst for additional investment by private sector companies creating a technology corridor near USC Aiken." 
 
Will Williams
President/CEO, Economic Development Partnership 

Picture
​"Having the Advanced Manufacturing Collaborative on the USC Aiken campus will promote the “power of proximity,” allowing university students and researchers to interact with SRNL research to create future technologies. You never know when a new idea is going to be generated, but if you put smart, creative people together, something wonderful will happen." 

​Dr. Sandra Jordan
Chancellor, USC Aiken
