A ribbon cutting was celebrated on May 29, 2024, for the Workforce Development Center expansion project. The expansion added 14,170 square feet to JWCC’s WDC facility located at 2710 North 42nd Street in Quincy. It includes a new Truck Driver Training addition, expanded space for HVAC and business and industry training, and a remodel of the current interior to include expanded space for welding, mixed/virtual reality learning, industrial maintenance and manufacturing, robotics and automation, and flexible use space for new programs. Additionally, a new vehicle entrance off 42nd Street and a larger parking area were added. A new computer-aided design lab was sponsored by Gardner Denver, and the community commons area was funded by the Rotary Club of Quincy.
The $6 million expansion was supported by a $3 million Federal Economic Adjustment Assistance Program grant awarded to JWCC in June of 2021. College and private funding covered the remaining cost of the project. Klingner & Associates was the architect for the project and Maas Construction served as general contractor.
This expansion provides state-of-the-art training opportunities for students to gain relevant skills in the most in-demand fields to meet the area’s workforce needs, creating and retaining head-of-household positions, attract private investment and strengthening resiliency throughout the region.
