The Community College of Baltimore County (CCBC) is investing $28 million to expand its Transportation Technology Center in Catonsville. This project, which includes an $11.6 million renovation of the existing auto repair center, will add nearly 22,000 square feet to the current 17,000-square-foot facility. New classrooms and specialized labs for electric and hydrogen vehicles will be part of the expansion.
CCBC President Sandra Kurtinitis emphasized the need for the college’s programs to stay cutting-edge to prepare students for the evolving automotive industry. Due to limited space, the automotive program had to decline various training opportunities and partnerships. The expansion aims to address this issue, focusing on automotive training in emerging technologies like electric vehicles.
Additionally, CCBC is also developing a $13 million welding and trades center at its Dundalk campus, which will include specialized training in underwater welding.
