In addition to Building “L” renovation, a more traditional Career and Technical Education facility now being planned to train students in construction, and other trades
Dr. Clint Ewell, Vice President Finance & Administrative Services at Yavapai Community College, surprised the College Governing Board with an announcement at the May meeting that a Career and Technical Education (CTE) facility, in addition to Building “L” was now being planned for the Verde Valley Campus. He noted that the feedback from the Verde Valley during the last few months has been a major factor in the decision.
Ewell said that Building “L” will be dedicated wholly to CTE. It is, however, programed so that 85% of the facility will be used for Allied Health programs.
The additional CTE facility will house programs like construction, carpentry, pipe fitting, welding and things of that nature. The programming will begin in June of this year.
Ewell said the plan is for the building to be on the Verde Campus. He said that the Campus is centrally located, locating there will help develop needed synergy on the Campus, the Campus has major resources such as a large power plant that is ready to support a new building.
