History
The Federal Aviation Administration, through its Airway Science
Program, awarded DWC a grant of $3 million to be used toward the
construction of an instructional facility to support the airway
science curriculum and emerging distance learning technologies.
The College designed the facility to fulfill its leadership role
as New England's center for aviation education for current and
future aviation professionals. This grant was matched by gifts
from individuals, corporations, and foundations as the goals of
the project expanded beyond the original concept to also include
becoming the region's educational leader in information
technology.
The Center, which first opened its doors to students on September 1,
1999, is named for donors Joseph E. Eaton of Hingham, Mass. and Martin
R. Richmond of Cambridge, Mass., long-serving trustees and benefactors
of the College.
The Collings Auditorium is
named for donors Robert and Caroline Collings and Rob Collings of Stow,
Mass.
