FREEPORT- Highland Community College's newest addition, a 5,500 square foot Wind Turbine Technology Center, is slated for completion in late February and will be fully available for students beginning in the fall 2009 semester. The center will provide much needed space to house the state of Illinois' first Associate of Applied Science in Wind Turbine Technology.
During a groundbreaking ceremony Oct. 9, officials unveiled a plan for the facility that includes two dedicated classrooms and a large training lab that will house the equipment, components and tools needed to complete the Wind Turbine Technician training.
Local participation has made the project possible according to college officials.
