The Texas State Technical College’s new Diesel Power Technologies building at the Marshall campus will welcome students this fall.

The $14.5 million facility includes 21,720 square feet of space and has over $2.6 million worth of training equipment. Several industry partners including HOLT CAT and Bagley Tractor & Equipment, contributed equipment to the facility.

“When I looked at the information published by the (Texas Higher Education) Coordinating Board, our school produces between 40% and 50% of all the diesel technicians in Texas,” said TSTC Chancellor Mike Reeser. “It’s no surprise that the legislature said they were going to bet on those who have already brought the game.”
