The Red Deer Polytechnic Centre for Innovation in Manufacturing–Technology Access Centre (CIM‑TAC) Expansion will see 10,000 square feet of space added, increasing the facility’s size from 15,000 to 25,000 square feet.
The Government of Alberta is providing $12.9 million in funding towards the project. 
Once complete, the expanded centre is expected to offer work-integrated learning experiences for approximately 450 post-secondary students annually, while also providing workshops and training opportunities to another 2,000 students by 2030. Additionally, more than 500 junior and senior high school students will benefit from dual credit programming at the facility.
