When the television industry was booming in the 1970’s, Durham Technical Institute took advantage. In 1979, the College led the initiative of developing the North Carolina Consortium for Instructional Telecommunications (NCCIT).
President Phail Wynn, Jr. and Augusta Julian, former Durham Tech employee, developed the idea of offering telecourses throughout the North Carolina Community College system, which led to the development of the consortium.
This initiative allowed community colleges, technical colleges, and technical institutes to use technology to provide distance learning to adults in North Carolina.

The transition plan for returning to standard College operations.
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.
