A team led by Hobbs+Black and Peter Basso Associates was commissioned to conduct a Facilities Assessment Program Analysis for the Robert E. Turner Advanced Technology Center to identify key areas in need of renovation. Keeping in mind MCC’s goal to optimize existing spaces, the project team recommends a renovation and overhaul of the original building to bring aging infrastructure and technology capabilities up to date.

This 130,000 square-foot facility, originally built in 1968, was redesigned to meet the demands of modern industry, with bright, open spaces that replicate real-world work environments. The center now houses cutting-edge technology to support education in manufacturing, technology, and skilled trades, preparing students for critical roles in the automotive and defense sectors.
