Spartanburg Community College (SCC) plans to break ground this fall at its Cherokee Campus on a $5.9 million technology center.
The facility will be similar to SCC’s Center for Advanced Manufacturing and Industrial Technologies, which houses the college’s automated technology, mechatronics, electronics, engineering and machine-tool technology programs, located at its Spartanburg location.
“This building is the result of the needs in Cherokee County for manufacturing-related programs,” said Ray Switzer, vice president of business affairs at SCC. “Programming will include welding, machine-tool technology, automated technology and mechatronics/electronics technology. We are looking at this new facility turning out as many as 300 students graduating per year.”
The new center will be a 27,245-square-foot facility. The building is slated for groundbreaking in the fall and completion before classes begin in August 2015.
