Proposed Projects
Workforce & Academic Building
Multipurpose training and education facility
69,971 square feet
More than 20 of TJC’s workforce and STEM programs utilize the 1966 Pirtle Technology Center which is decades-old and does not have advanced classrooms, simulation labs
or collaborative learning spaces.
This facility will house TJC’s workforce training and academic programs for high-demand industries, including engineering, business, criminal justice, surveying, information technology and others. It will feature advanced classrooms, simulation labs and collaborative learning spaces that prepare students for immediate entry into well-paying local careers.
To provide for current classes and anticipated future demand, the Facilities Planning Committee determined the most cost-effective option would be to construct a new building with modern technology similar to what graduates will be using in the workplace.

Student Success Center
Centralized student resources
55,328 square feet
TJC offers 18 services that support students throughout their college journey—from entry to enrollment, persistence and graduation. Currently, these services are spread across eight different older buildings on the 145-acre Central Campus.
Consolidating these services into a single “Student Success Center” will centralize operations and streamline processes. Students will spend less time completing administrative tasks. TJC will be able to more efficiently and effectively provide student support services.

Student Safety & IT Center
Consolidated digital and physical security
33,359 square feet
Ensuring physical and technological safety on college campuses is essential for student well-being, high academic performance and institutional success.*
By locating these functions within the same facility, the College will integrate its digital and physical security operations for almost 20,000 students and 1,200 employees who learn and work at TJC.
TJC Police currently operate out of two former homes that were not designed to support the operational, safety or service functions of a law enforcement agency.
The current data and technology building has structural integrity issues that preclude it from meeting the current and future demands of advancing workforce technology.
