Northeastern Junior College is a two-year public community college located at the north edge of Sterling, Colorado, the Logan County seat. Sterling is located approximately 125 miles northeast of Denver on Interstate 76, U.S. Highways 6 and 138 and Colorado Highway 14. Sterling is a city of approximately 12,000 residents, characterized by strong business, cultural, and professional interests. Anchoring a plains area which is primarily agricultural, it provides a trade, education, and health center for a population of more than 50,000. Amenities Northeastern Junior College is a great location for events and activities, both large and small. Our facilities are used by many local, state, regional and national groups each year to host meetings, conferences, classes, camps, weddings, receptions, dinners and dances. The main campus consists of 20 buildings that are all within walking distance of one another, including five residence halls (Dowis, Herbie, Poole, GRB Suites, and Williams). You'll surely find what you're looking for here. Classrooms and specialized science laboratories are available. A student center which houses a large ballroom with a stage at one end also is home to an elegant art gallery which is made available for receptions and meetings. Art labs, music rooms, outdoor tennis courts, a greenhouse and tons of close-in free parking are other amenities available. An exceptional library center and an impressive performance hall complete with an orchestra pit are available to those who seek these kinds of accommodations for their event. For details on renting campus facilities other than the residence halls, contact Wendy Zimmerman, Facilities Use Coordinator. Last but not least, the beautiful 62,000 + square foot Bank of Colorado Event Center on the campus is perhaps the nicest facility between Denver and Omaha. It is an ideal location for large group meetings, musical concert performances, athletic tournaments and camps and related events. Northeastern offers those who rent facilities comprehensive food and catering services through Sodexho, Inc. which contracts to do all dining services for the campus. No event is too large or small and if you want simple or elegant, Sodexho is eager and willing to work with you to make it happen!
