A federal grant worth $810,000 will support construction costs for a new Transportation Technology Center on the campus of Davidson County Community College.

The grant from the U.S. Department of Commerce will fund about half the anticipated costs of constructing the new single-story, 9,100-square-foot building. The college will provide the balance of the needed money.

College President Mary Rittling said the new building will provide much-needed space for the transportation technology program, including an automotive lab, diesel lab and two classrooms.

“More importantly, its flexible design will allow for multiple use and easy adaptation to meet the evolving needs of transportation employers in the region,” Rittling said.
