Ava Rountree’s high school graduation was looming, and she still needed to decide which college to attend.
The Orange County Board of Commissioners approved a new fiscal budget this week that includes $11 million for an expansion to the existing Durham Technical Community College Orange County Campus building, a new position to support small businesses, and student scholarships for high school graduates and short-term training students.
The $11 million building expansion is spread over two years to support a 13,000 – 18,000 square-foot addition to the existing 40,000-square-foot, two-story Orange County Campus building, which opened in 2008. In recent years, Durham Tech leadership has strongly advocated for more space in Orange County given the need for more programming and workforce training options.
The expansion will provide additional space for training areas such as Emergency Medical Services, new Orthopaedic Technology and short-term healthcare courses, and Plumbing and HVAC courses. In addition, the expansion will provide space for Back-to-Work courses and Small Business Center program instruction, as well as additional areas for enrollment services, financial aid, and counseling.

Community leaders from Duke Health, Novo Nordisk, Made in Durham, and the Greater Durham Chamber of Commerce voiced strong support for the proposed Durham Tech bond referendum this fall, which would build a new Health Sciences Center, Life Sciences Training Center, a pedestrian connector over Lawson Street, and acquisition of property for future expansion of Main Campus.
The Durham County Board of Commissioners held a public hearing on July 12 to hear from the community regarding potential bond issues on the November 2022 ballot.
The $112.7 million referendum, if approved, would provide high-quality training hubs for major regional industries in healthcare and life sciences. With booming career opportunities in these sectors, Durham Tech is well-positioned to train local talent and provide a diverse workforce pipeline to area companies.
