Northshore Technical Community College
The new 15,169 SF facility was designed to accommodate specialized training for nursing, welding, advanced manufacturing, electrical systems, administrative, and faculty and support spaces. All these spaces are envisioned to support the Workforce Training Center mission of the Northshore Technical Community College. The site is adjacent to the Southeastern Louisiana University Livingston Literacy and Technology Center in Walker, La. It operates in conjunction with this institution by sharing classrooms for general education space. The facility’s design is inspired by a contemporary image and symbolizes the forward-thinking approach of the college. The Walker campus also houses offices for the Livingston Economic Development Office. This relationship creates synergy with workforce development and definition of future needs for the community.
Learning Objectives:
- Learn the importance of creating authentic immersive work-based learning environments by providing simulated tools and workplaces to create an authentic backdrop for learning career-readiness skills that are valued by future employers.
- Learn how to create opportunities for cross collaboration and interactions that don’t otherwise occur in a small multi-discipline college campus.
- Learn how simulated work environments can create partnerships with industry partners to meet the workforce needs of the surrounding community.
- Learn how the similarities of immersive work-based learning environments of higher education have informed the development of the “Maker Space” model in K-12 education.

A New Venue for A Technical Career Future
Presented by: Domain Architecture
Sponsored by: Bob Bernhard & Associates Mechanical
East Baton Rouge Parish School's Career and Technical Education Center (C-TEC) was recently opened in the Ardendale development adjacent to the BRCC Automotive Training Center. C-TEC is comprised of modular labs and classrooms that are flexible and can be easily changed to fit workforce needs of the Capital Area region. The large labs with garage doors, open ceiling, exposed building systems, oversized mechanical and data rooms, allows for the entire building to be a "systems lab" and a teaching tool for each student. Every space in the facility serves multiple functions, and offers High School juniors and seniors an opportunity to earn a traditional diploma at their high schools while also pursuing industry based certificates in Medicine, Construction, Manufacturing, and Internet Technologies. The 37,000 square foot facility was completed at a cost of $17,000,000.
Registration is FREE, please RSVP.
