7/19/22 – Demolition began of a long-vacant Harrison Supply warehouse at the college’s new campus site in Roxbury’s Nubian Square. Thanks to a generous grant from the Baker-Polito Administration via the Brownfields Redevelopment Fund, project contractor Dellbrook One Way began clearing the way for construction of the college’s new three-story, 68,000-square-foot academic headquarters in the neighborhood.
The new campus will feature 23 technical education labs for hands-on learning—including a rooftop learning lab for solar panels and HVAC instruction—eight general classrooms, meeting and study rooms, a central student lounge, a student success center, as well as administration space.
With a flexible and sustainable design, the new campus will enable the college to increase its in-person learning capacity from 600 students to 800 students with many able to be served through distance learning. This expanded capacity comes at a time of increased demand for students who are prepared for high-quality tech and trade careers.
