ECTC celebrates renovations for Occupational Technical Building
Elizabethtown Community and Technical College celebrated the beginning of phase one of the $60.5 million renovation of the college’s Occupational Technical Building with a beam signing ceremony Monday afternoon.
“The original buildings built for the Occupational Technical Building were constructed in three separate time periods (1966, 1975, and 1985), so even the newest facility is 40 years old, so this two-phase project is really about providing an updated, relevant simulation environment for what students expect in a modern and industrial setting such as we have here in Elizabethtown/Hardin County,” said ECTC President and CEO Dr. Juston Pate.
Pate said the construction project is a milestone for the college as well as workforce development across the region, and students walking into the updated OTB will get “an updated 21st century training environment.”
“We’ve got the best instructors in America,” Pate said. “We have great equipment, but to have a facility that mirrors and mimics what they will see in the workforce and in the workplace here, I think, provides them a more relevant and timely education.”
Pate said the project is a testament to the dedicated staff at the college as well as partners in the community looking to support students and area industry.
“I’m most thankful not just for this project, but I think I’m most thankful that our college and our region work together so well,” Pate said. “This truly is a community project, and so many people from so many facets of our world and life came together to make this happen, and I couldn’t be happier to be a part of it.”
The completion of phase one is expected as early as December of 2026. Students attending classes in the OTB receive education and training for a wide range of careers involving specialty degrees and licenses. Visit ECTC’s website for more information.
