MPTC Capital Project Updates
Advanced Manufacturing and Trades, Fond du Lac
The College kicked off the first of four capital projects on May 17 with the groundbreaking of the Automation, Innovation and Robotics (AIR) Center—construction led by local contractor C.D. Smith. To help in the celebration, donors, community partners and alumni gathered to give gratitude to the generosity of the many financial supporters, as well as the community members who passed the $55 million referendum.
The AIR Center project is on track for a December 2023 completion. Phase 2, the B-Wing remodel, is scheduled to begin in January 2024.
Horicon Regional Center
The Moraine Park District Board approved the purchase of land on Highway 33 east of Horicon—Mike Koenig Construction Co., Inc. serves as the lead contractor. The groundbreaking was celebrated at a small ceremony in late September with leaders from Moraine Park and the local community in attendance.
Currently located at the Beaver Dam Campus, the MPTC Fire Training lab and equipment are in dire need of updates to continue to support the 50+ fire stations in the College’s district. The Horicon Regional Center will offer the space needed for the planned updates, as well as potential future growth.
The Horicon Regional Center will also have the space available for additional classes and training as needed.
Horicon Regional Center, 1210 Wrucke Street, is scheduled for a June 2024 completion date and will welcome its first students in the fall of 2024.
