CVTC - Energy Education Center
The Energy Education Center is a part of the West Campus of Chippewa Valley Technical College. It is a 54,000 square foot expansion and renovation which included classrooms and labs that improved and increased programming options. CVTC’s Energy Education Center isn’t just a building containing classrooms and labs, together with the surrounding grounds, it was designed to be a learning laboratory. This energy efficient, cutting edge education center has become a model in the sate for LEED buildings and is certified GOLD. This facility is a smart building and has a control room that you can monitor and control the building from with TV monitors displayed. It was the, Focus On Energy- 2016 Energy Efficiency Excellence Award. It was an extremely fun and rewarding project for B&B Electric, as most of the building is “open concept” so our craftsman pride in their work is displayed throughout the facility.
Objective and Results
CVTC had grown beyond the size and capabilities of their facility. They recognized their outdated facilities were actually a deterrent to potential students. An addition of 54,000 feet has been used for training and education of the students in the classroom and in the field for High Voltage Lineman training. This facilities update was a way of bringing their training and education up to date with new technology and “the next level of education.”
