Mining professionals from across the United States and many foreign countries come to the Academy for health and safety training. The Academy complex, which opened in 1976, consists of 9 buildings, seven of which are inter-connected, making up 347,410 square feet and includes classrooms and laboratories accommodating 600 students, a residence hall of 174 lodging rooms, a cafeteria, a library, auditorium, and wellness facilities.
