FSCC officials said the MILL is now more accessible to all students and is closer to the college's Student Services department which allows staff a better opportunity to serve students and the community.

The MILL offers developmental courses to help students with basic skills to get them through college, as well as specialized learning software programs for students who need or want extra practice in a specific area of study.

The computers in the MILL are available to all students. Community members and students can access the computers for both educational and personal use, an FSCC statement said.

Programs the MILL offers for the community include General Equivalency Diploma classes and English as a Second Language classes. The MILL also offers continuing education courses for those who want to continue learning, and an Adult and Family Literacy Program to help end illiteracy in Bourbon County, the statement said.

The new space on the ground level became available after the Gordon Parks Museum and Center moved into its new location in the Danny and Willa Ellis Family Fine Arts Center. Another benefit of the new fine arts facility has been the space that it has opened around campus. The MILL is just the first of many departments that has benefitted from this newly-found space on campus. The move of the MILL has been positive for both FSCC and its students, the statement said.
