The Durham Tech project began as a renovation of the aged Newton Building, which houses vocational programs. As space programming and design progressed, it was determined that the College’s needs would be best addressed with a renovation of the existing Newton Building and the design/construction of a new applied technologies building.

The first project phase was the design of a new applied technologies building. Dedicated as the William G. Ingram Center for Applied Learning and Technology, it houses Architectural Technology, Biomedical Equipment Technology, Electronics Engineering, Electrical Systems Technology and IT Technology.
