ROBINSON, Ill. (WTWO/WAWV) — Lincoln Trail College has broken ground on its new Career and Technical Training Center.
The college said the $13.4 million investment to build the center will “transform hands-on education in Welding, Process Technology, and Broadband Telecommunications.”
“The Technology Center will allow us to expand hands-on learning opportunities in programs that meet the workforce needs of our region,” said LTC President Tona Ambrose. “We are especially excited about how this facility will enhance our nationally recognized Process Technology program.”
The new 30,000-square-foot building will be designed to give students access to modern labs, simulation equipment, and classrooms.
The construction of the new center will be funded through the Illinois Capital Development Board. The college said it will also serve as a vital hub for workforce development in Southeastern Illinois.
Construction of the Technology Center began in August. The facility is expected to take approximately 18 months to complete.
