Wenatchee Valley College’s new Center for Technical Education and Innovation (CTEI) will act as the campus's northern anchor. The facility will be highly transparent and showcase the programs housed. It will feature agile learning spaces that will be highly adaptable and able to serve multiple purposes. The approximately 60,000 square foot $39,000,000 facility will be dedicated to specialty laboratories that encourage hands-on active learning.

Programs will be on display and allow students in other programs and those passing by to see learning in action. The facility will house WVC’s Automotive Technology, Industrial Technology, Electronics and Aerospace Electronics, Machining, Welding, Drafting, Agriculture, Natural Resources, Computer Technology, Environmental Systems and Refrigeration Technology, and Engineering programs.

Bid opening for the CTEI was Oct. 29, 2024. The contractor will take over the building site on March 1, 2025. Sexton Hall parking lot will be closed from March 3 through the construction period.
