Bristol begins staffing the New Bedford Wind Energy Center, supporting and developing the concept of an offshore wind training center.

Bristol partners with UMass Dartmouth to produce the Massachusetts Offshore Wind Workforce Assessment, outlining workforce needs for the region, state and nation to meet the coming demand of the offshore wind industry.

NOWI announces international offshore wind training partnership with Maersk Training.

President Laura Douglas and Bristol's Board of Trustees, with the support of the Bristol Community College Foundation, took the bold step to invest $15 million to construct the NOWI.

Construction begins on the NOWI facility in New Bedford.

The NOWI opens to the public.

Massachusetts and Rhode Island procure 2,878 megawatts of offshore wind energy from three projects – enough to power over 1.5 million homes. That same month, the NOWI's training schedule is at capacity.
