JCTC to start work on allied health building

The appearance of the Jefferson Community and Technical College campus in downtown Louisville will undergo significant changes soon.

On tap is the addition of an allied health and nursing building and possible major renovations to its existing classroom buildings.

A groundbreaking for the $25.6 million allied health building is tentatively slated for May, according to JCTC President Anthony Newberry.

The three-story, 100,000-square-foot building will be constructed on the north side of the JCTC campus and will connect with its existing VTI building at Second and Chestnut streets.

Newberry said he expects an 18- to 20-month build-out for the project, with the building fully ready for use by spring 2010.

Full funding for the project was approved during the 2006 session of the Kentucky General Assembly.
Demand from medical center, hospitals

The building will house all of JCTC's allied health programs, which currently are scattered among its main downtown campus, its Jefferson Technical Campus at Eighth and Chestnut streets and its campus in southwest Jefferson County.

The allied health building will include a small clinic, laboratory space, a library, an interactive television conference center, computer stations, faculty offices and student and teacher lounges.

The building is intended to help meet demand for trained students to work at hospitals in the Louisville Medical Center and across the community.

It will be built on land that is partly vacant and partly used for parking.
