NGTC Breaks Ground on Expansion


On Wednesday, the Currahee Campus of North Georgia Technical College celebrated the groundbreaking of the new Health Sciences wing. The new wing will house North Georgia Tech’s Licensed Practical Nursing program and Paramedic/EMT program.  North Georgia Technical College President Dr. Gail Thaxton said that the expansion will have multiple benefits for these programs.  “It is going to attract students because they are going to see that the facility is current and state-of-the-art and everybody wants to learn with the newest and the best technology,” said Thaxton.  “There will be laboratories, science laboratories, classrooms, computer labs,” said Thaxton. “But all of these laboratories around the paramedic/EMT program and the Licensed Practical Nursing program are going to have very specialized patient assessment rooms, viewing rooms, computerized monitoring rooms. It is really built out to meet today’s standards for workforce preparation.”
