We were excited to join DeKalb County Alabama Schools Superintendent Wayne Lyles and a host of others July 24 in Rainsville for the unveiling of plans for the new DeKalb County Technical Center.
The new state-of-the-art education facility will be located in the Rainsville Industrial Park. The 95,000-square-foot facility is expected to cost $40 million. Construction is expected to take two years.
Ward Scott Morris Architecture is providing architectural services for the project. Scout Program Management is providing construction program management services. The project will be bid later this year.
Initial plans include spaces for CTE programs in culinary, welding, automotive, industrial/manufacturing, cosmetology, engineering, masonry, nursing, criminal justice, and building construction, plus a fine arts wing with an auditorium and music classrooms. The $40 million project includes additional office, classroom, and flex spaces for future needs.
The new facility will replace the district’s 50+ year old DeKalb County Technology Center.
