On February 17th, Jackson College held a groundbreaking ceremony for the anticipated Applied Technologies Center. The McFate Group is the architect and construction manager on the 15,000 square-foot building. The ceremony for the $6.8 million project was held on the Jackson College campus in the Jets Hangar, where there were snacks in plastic hard hats, pudding cups with shovel-shaped spoons, and a giant cake featuring a rendering of the future Center for Applied Technologies.
