PENDLETON โ€“ People can now see what the Blue Mountain Community College Equine Center will look like. It’s going up just west of the Pendleton Convention Center.

โ€œYou cannot miss it now,โ€ BMCC President Mark Browning said. โ€œItโ€™s beautiful. The equine center is set for completion in November.โ€

In addition to classroom space, the center will house an arena for the collegeโ€™s award-winning rodeo team. The city of Pendleton also has plans to use the facility for winter events. Browning said heโ€™s been impressed by the crewsโ€™ hard work in bringing a vision into a reality.

โ€œItโ€™s taking shape from the outside,โ€ he said. โ€œThe indoor arena floor is down. Theyโ€™re working on bleachers and some of the electrical inside.โ€
