The Michigan Technology Education Center is a perfect example of a combined community effort. This modern facility has been designed to train a skilled workforce for southwest Michigan. Located in the Kalamazoo Valley Community College Education Business Technology Park off I-94 the 72,000 square foot building is a testament to cutting edge technology. From the futuristic look of the building to the computer information systems, the building offers an exciting environment for learning.

Constructed in a twelve-month period, the facility was challenged by available funding for the budget. Value engineering and reengineering of components assured a project that could meet budget. Team members worked closely to maintain the budget during the duration of the project. The project was delivered using a fast track method divided into five various bid packages. At the end of bidding the project moved forward with less than a 2% contingency. Considering the type of delivery, this is an unheard of accomplishment. The project was completed for the precise budget amount of $11,000,000. MTEC is proof that a team effort can make the difficult possible.
