Work is continuing for construction of a new welding workshop and classroom at the Carroll County Area Technology Center. Members of the design team were on site recently to discuss details and tour the ATC. The addition is being funded by a $5 million grant from the School Facilities Construction Commission. Once complete, this will mean 80 students in the five-county region can study welding at the ATC.
The new 5,500-square-foot welding workshop will be built at the end of the existing school building. Plans include 20 state-of-the-art welding stations, dedicated classroom space, a CNC plasma cutting station, and other hands-on learning areas that reflect the tools and technologies used in the welding field.
Construction is anticipated to begin by July 1 and take approximately one year to complete.
