Ground is scheduled to be broken next month on the final phase of Owensboro Community & Technical College’s long-delayed Advanced Technology Center.
A ceremony is scheduled March 4 in Owensboro for the center that is scheduled to open for classes in fall 2017.
The project was first proposed in 1996 when community leaders asked Former Governor Paul Patton for funding. But construction didn’t begin until 2006 on the project’s 65,000-square-foot first phase and it was completed two years later.
The $12 million second phase of the project required $3 million in local funding, plus $500,000 for equipment. College President Scott Williams says nearly $163,000 in donations are still needed. Most of the new 46,000-square-foot building will be for labs, classrooms and offices.
