Collin College recognized the demand for a highly educated and skilled workforce in the region and ventured into new technical programs never before offered at the college.
The 342,000 sq. ft. Collin College Technical Campus (CTC) is dedicated to instruction in advanced manufacturing, health sciences, logistics, and other high-demand, high-wage construction workforce areas, with spaces that allow highly specialized training and formal education opportunities to cater to this burgeoning workforce.
The design reflects input from local professionals into each program’s career field in allied health, robotics, bio-medical repair, information technology, construction and automotive services. Collaborative high-bay labs and learning yards are configured into three “trade bars,” which simulate a real-world workplace, where various trades work together to create a modern, interdisciplinary environment.
It also includes a 40,000 sq. ft. Allen ISD Dual Credit High School program partnering with McKinney, Frisco, and Plano ISD. Spaces include 15 classrooms, two computer labs, two science wet labs and breakout spaces for collaboration administration and faculty spaces.
