This design-build 63,000-SF professional technical education building co-locates the college’s manufacturing-related programs and workforce development activities in a signature, state-of-the-art facility at the main entry to campus.

The new building acts as a magnet for attracting students, teachers and industry partners, creating a new identity for the college and applied technology education, connecting programs and people, spaces and buildings. The design solution relates the building blocks of the advanced manufacturing competency model, which inverts the traditional educational model that starts in the lab and backfills personal effectiveness and academic competencies. It creates the foundation necessary to produce graduates who are career ready.

The project is pursuing LEED Silver certification.
