MPTC wanted to improve and expand their utility and technology programs at their Beaver Dam campus. The staff and professors at MPTC and Somerville’s design team worked together to design a 4,400 square foot, state-of-the-art, facility, the Energy Education Center. The building is an addition to the existing main campus and includes a 2,700 square foot lab, storage area and restrooms. Each student work area will include all necessary utility connections simulating real-life work environments. The lab is designed for flexibility, accommodating classroom settings and demonstrations, as well as other simulation activities for the Gas Utility program, the Electrical Utility program or other curriculum. All utilities and technology are designed to be well within reach everywhere in the space.
