Deal: Hall Campus of Lanier Technical College “a 21st-century campus for a 21st-century workforce”

$150 million campus will accommodate more than 5,000 students and double Lanier Tech’s current capacity

Gov. Nathan Deal today attended a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the completion of the new Hall Campus of Lanier Technical College, a unit of the Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG). The 335,000-square-foot campus is the first newly constructed technical college campus in the history of technical education in Georgia.

“Institutions like Lanier Technical College are an essential part of Georgia’s robust workforce and thriving business climate,” said Deal. “With unparalleled resources for learning and mastering high-demand skills, this location is truly a 21st-century campus for a 21st-century workforce.”

The $150 million campus will accommodate more than 5,000 students and double Lanier Tech’s current capacity. Located on 95 acres, the Hall Campus features state-of-the-art equipment and includes six buildings for technical education instruction. At the ceremony, the Gov. Nathan Deal Economic Development Center building was unveiled in honor of Deal.

“This campus was built not only for the students of 2018, but for those who choose technical education in 2078,” said Dr. Ray Perren, president of Lanier Technical College. “We know, without a doubt, that our community partners will reap the benefits of the elite workforce produced at the Hall Campus of Lanier Technical College. The lives of generations will be forever changed because of this new campus.”

The Hall Campus also has outdoor instructional space, including a commercial truck driving range and a burn tower for fire science instruction.

The college will offer Lanier Tech’s 45 existing programs and several new ones including, construction management, commercial trucking driving, culinary arts, diesel equipment technology, and marine engine technology.
