Stafford Technical Center is getting a makeover; sort of. In reality, we are in the early stages of a three year project to renovate our program space which will allow for more flexibility in our program areas. The Regional Advisory Board approved funding for the first phase which will be underway this summer.
The project will commence with the repair and restoration of the Forestry/Power Mechanics Building on the east side of the campus. The goal is to upgrade the heating/ventilation, mechanical systems and energy retro-fits. Over the next few years, renovations will expand to include the rehabilitation of the Electrical/Plumbing building, Automotive Technology and Automotive Refinishing Labs. Future relocation of several existing programs to different classroom spaces will eventually result in the launch of Stafford’s Cosmetology Program in the fall of 2011.
Stafford’s long term vision is to have quality, energy efficient classroom spaces that meet the educational needs of the 21st century workforce.
