The new Table Rock Career Center will be hosting an open house next month. The Table Rock Career Center opened a little over a month ago. It replaced Gibson Technical Center, which served the communities for over 50 years. The new center will continue to serve over 400 students in 12 programs in a state of the art facility. These programs include: Auto Technology, Collision Repair, Computer Technology and Networking, Construction, Culinary Arts, Early Childhood Education, EMT, Engineering, Graphic Design, Health Occupations, Marine Technology and Welding Technology. The center will host an open house for the public on Wednesday, Jan. 22, from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
The new TRCC building has an open and airy floor plan.
The Table Rock Career Center is 70,000 square feet, which is 40, 000 square feet bigger than Gibson Technical Center was. The center has a large commons area and a 70-seat lecture hall. It can initially serve up to 500 students but has the capacity to teach up to 600.
The culinary instructional area is a full kitchen for students.
Health Occupations Instructor Tammy Parrish gave a tour of the center including the instructional area for her students.
