This is the Guilford Technical Community College, the East Wendover Campus. It was founded in 1958 as the Guilford Industrial Education Center. In its inception, the education center served mainly to train people for the technical & manufacturing jobs in our county. Today, GTCC still trains people for the job market; however, they have expanded to offer "93 degrees, 26 diplomas, and 78 certificates" (GTCC Website). GTCC has a great culinary program and offers several classes in Spanish as well as English for Speakers of other Language. The East Wendover Campus is one of three campuses and two centers. We've already featured the Davis Aviation Center.
This is our post for ABC Wednesday. "C" is for "community college" and boy do we have a great one.
These places definitely have a place in todays world.

I've never seen the lot so empty. When were you there?

I like the angles in this bvuilding - looks almost like a wave, from a distance. Ialso like all the colour co-ordination with the red, tan and silver.

There's a shortage of them. The local one is overcrowded and understaffed. This one looks very smart!
