Arts & Sciences Center
Ouachita Technical College held Ground Breaking Ceremonies for a new Arts & Sciences Centeron Tuesday, June 19, 2007. Remarks were provided by State Representative Mike Burris, Malvern Mayor Steve Northcutt, OTC Board of Trustees Chairman Pete Paladino, and OTC Foundation Board Chairman Floyd Parker. Each spoke about the progressiveness, persistence, and quality leadership that was integral in the planning process of the $2.48 million building.
The 17,800 square foot, two-story complex will house the Arts & Sciences division, primarily servicing the Associate of Arts and Associate of Arts in Teaching students. However, all programs on campus require general education and therefore every student will benefit from the new building. Included in the structure will be seven“ smart classrooms”, all equipped with computers, LCD projectors, wired and wireless telecommunications, presentation equipment, and various other technology; three labs, including math, reading/ writing, and computer; a student study room; one conference room; one faculty/staff break room; and twelve offices.
