Waters Family Names NCC Classroom

The Nash Community College Foundation has announced the naming of the William Roger Waters Classroom in the new Advanced Manufacturing building. The classroom is named in memory of William “Roger” Waters by his wife of 30 years, Trudi Jaber Waters; daughter, Anna Waters Costa, husband, Jerome and daughters, Stella and Madison; sister-in-law, Trese Roberts and husband, Erik; brother-in-law, Paul Jaber, wife, Elaine and daughter, Katy.

Roger Waters graduated from Rocky Mount Senior High School and continued his education at Campbell University. He served his country as a member of the U.S. Coast Guard, and later became President and Owner of Waters Brothers Contractors where he was known for his work in the community until his passing in August 2012.

Through Roger’s leadership, Waters Brothers Contractors, a family owned business since 1921, expanded from utilizing hand-operated equipment to a state of the art computer controlled production operation with highly technical machinery to provide complete custom sheet metal fabrication.

Nash Community College opened its 16,000 square foot Advanced Manufacturing building in July 2018 for students pursuing careers in the Advanced Manufacturing field including Electrical Systems Technology, Computer-Integrated Machining, Industrial Systems Technology and Robotics.
