The Diesel Equipment and Auto Collision Demonstration Center at Albany Technical College is a state-of-the-art educational facility designed to support hands-on learning in diesel technology and auto collision repair. Spanning 21,000 gross square feet, the center includes classrooms, lab and bay areas, faculty offices, locker rooms, and advanced equipment tailored to the needs of technical education. The Diesel Technology Program features interactive training systems, while the Auto Collision Repair Technology Program includes specialized paint booth bays to enhance student experience and skill development.
EMC Engineering Services provided key services, including a conceptual site plan, comprehensive site survey, landscape architecture, full site design, permitting, construction administration, and construction layout. The project is funded as a capital initiative by the Technical College System of Georgia, with an investment exceeding $10 million. Construction began in January 2024 and was completed in August 2025.
EMC played an active role in project coordination, attending regular design team meetings to ensure seamless integration across disciplines and minimize field issues. Notable value engineering solutions included the strategic use of sheet flow, curb and gutter, and concrete flumes to manage stormwater, reducing the need for extensive underground infrastructure and lowering overall costs.
