Cass Career Center’s newly refreshed interior and exterior provide a modern, inviting look, welcoming students and offering room for program expansion.

The existing building was in need of a secure entry, an updated aesthetic and space for up-to-date programs and equipment. An addition allowed for an expanded nursing program to accommodate more students, while updates to the fire sciences, welding, agriculture, horticulture and EMT programs allowed for new equipment and room for program activities.
