About ATEC

The ATEC Building received its name in recognition of the $2.8 million pledged by the Grant County Commissioners. This generous pledge was given in support of a common vision for economic development for our region, and as an investment in the future of the college.

The entire ATEC complex includes the 4600 square foot Masto Conference Center, along with the Peterson Gallery, Lauzier University Center, and the Dining Commons. It also includes the Hardin Community Room, the Simplot Room, and the REC Silicon Rooms.
