The HVAC lab project was designed by Lenhardt Rodgers Architecture + Interiors based in Fort Washington, PA. The new specialized learning space will teach students how to install, operate, and repair heating, ventilation, and air conditioning equipment in both indoor and outdoor spaces to reflect actual working conditions. The in-demand HVAC training program is a 12-week course that includes classroom theory and hands-on skills development. Instruction includes U.S. Department of Energy’s Industrial Training & Assessment Center energy efficiency training.
