BUILDING FOR GROWTH To help meet these demands, construction continues on a new Applied Technology Center (ATC) on Central Campus, designed to house utilities, line workers, and new HVAC programs.
With the new Applied Technology Center (ATC) opening for students in January 2026, Jackson College is expanding its capacity to train the next generation of utilities professionals with state-of-
the-art facilities and equipment. Developed in
collaboration with key partners, the ATC will provide flexible and
innovative spaces to support these programs. It will house three “bay” areas for programs, including one with a tall roof to allow for indoor utility poles. There will also be an area outdoors for different types of utility work, from burying cables to driving a bucket truck.
