The innovative technology center emphasizes collaboration and provides flexible labs to accommodate cutting-edge technology in support of student advancement with welding, HVACR, metal fabrication and plumbing labs; a CDL simulation lab; and other hands-on instruction areas for electro-mechanical, construction, electrical and alternative energy programs. It features learning systems for robotics, geothermal electricity, wind turbine nacelles and solar panels; an augmented reality welding simulation lab, in addition to safe, real-world welding booths; a Skill Boss Logistics supply chain automation training and assessment device; mechanical lathes and mills; laser systems and an engraver. For the community, a makerspace multipurpose laboratory has tools and 3D printers open for public use. The building is pursuing LEED Silver certification which will make it Wor-Wic’s first LEED certified facility, furthering their commitment to sustainability. The $36 million building project was funded by the State of Maryland and Wicomico and Worcester counties, as well as the “Preparing for a Stronger Tomorrow” campaign by the Wor-Wic Foundation.
It was an honor to consult on this project with Becker Morgan Group to provide Telecommunications Cabling, Audiovisual, Access Control/Video Surveillance, Acoustics, Noise & Vibration Control, and LAN/PBX/Wi-Fi Electronics design services.
