Innovation for all
Our vision for the Trades and Technology
Complex is to be a state-of-the-art 21st-century
applied learning environment, but also a vibrant,
welcoming place where all students find a sense of
belonging. The Trades and Technology Complex will
equip students with spaces that foster connection
and community, and support their personal and
professional growth inside and outside of the
classroom. New approaches to learning will meet
people where they are located, through in-situ
training in rural and remote communities.
Students from all backgrounds will gain
transformative skills working together in
spaces that simulate real-world job sites, using
technology and workflows that are changing our
built environment. This collection of buildings,
gathering places, plazas, and outdoor space will
reflect the future for which we're preparing our
students, by breaking down barriers for students
to access education, and facilitating inclusion
and collaboration between people and programs,
research, and industry.
"Jack and I have
always believed
that by increasing
access to learning,
everyone thrives."
