Texas State Technical College’s Fort Bend County campus opened its new Transportation Technologies Center.

Mike Reeser, TSTC’s chancellor and CEO, said of the new facility, “The vision of what we do is manifested in this new building. We focus on the big, heavy-duty jobs that are at the core of Texas power.”

The new $35 million, 105,000-square-foot building houses the Automotive, Automotive Collision and Management, and expanded Diesel Equipment programs.

The Automotive program has two pathways, an associate degree and certificate, both of which focus on internal maintenance on a variety of vehicles from small sedans to large trucks. Auto Collision and Management has two associate degrees, one focusing on outer-body repairs, the other on refinishing, along with a certificate of completion. Diesel Equipment retained the Heavy Truck specialization associate degree and certificate while adding an Off-Highway degree option.

Registration for the spring semester is underway. For more information, go to tstc.edu.
