Oregon Coast Advanced Technology & Trades (OCATT) Center
The Oregon Coast Advanced Technology & Trades (OCATT) Center will expand opportunities for education and workforce development on the Oregon Coast. Designed as a 26,000-square-foot hub for hands-on learning, the facility will provide flexible, real-world training environments for programs in construction and carpentry, industrial facilities maintenance, maritime technology, HVAC systems, and welding, as well as pre-apprenticeship offerings.
The building is organized around skill-based learning rather than fixed programs, mirroring the collaborative, cross-disciplinary nature of today’s industries. Four primary lab areas—building systems, mechanical systems, electronic systems, and a “dirty build” lab for metalwork, welding, and diesel engines—anchor the facility, complemented by flexible classrooms and support spaces that can adapt as programs evolve. The design allows the college to quickly reconfigure spaces, integrate new technologies, and align with changing workforce needs.
As a central component of a voter-approved bond supporting career and technical education, the OCATT Center will strengthen local pathways to employment by offering residents the ability to train and earn credentials without leaving the coast. The facility will serve both new students and working adults seeking to reskill or advance in their fields, while providing a venue for industry partners to collaborate with the college on specialized training programs and certifications that address regional workforce gaps.
Reflecting the Oregon Coast’s landscape and industrial heritage, the building’s form and material palette merge natural and technical expressions. The mass timber structure—including an Acoustic DLT roof system—provides both warmth and acoustic performance, while the exterior is clad in custom metallic green panels designed to withstand coastal conditions and blend with the surrounding forest. Interior spaces are designed for comfort and connection, featuring a commons, kitchenette, showers, lockers, and a meeting room for student–employer engagement.
Situated on a stabilized sandstone site within an ancient dune formation, the building is engineered for long-term resilience. Now under construction and opening for classes in 2027, the OCATT Center will serve as a lasting investment in the region’s educational and economic vitality—preparing a new generation of trades and technology professionals to learn, work, and thrive on the Oregon Coast.
