Four associate degree programs are relocating from the main campus to the Logan Campus starting autumn semester 2012, along with expanded student services.
Students enrolled in the Industrial Ceramics Engineering, Construction Management - Carpentry, Construction Management - Electrical, and Architectural and Mechanical Design programs will begin the autumn semester in a newly remodeled building on the Logan Campus. The college will also provide more general education classes at the Logan Campus for students planning to continue their education after Hocking and earn a bachelor's degree.
"We are looking at opportunities to grow the education community in Logan. Many students drive right past the Logan Campus to attend classes at our main campus in Nelsonville," Dr. Ron Erickson, Hocking College President, said. "By expanding our offerings at the Logan Campus, we are providing an important service to students who may be located in Logan, Lancaster and other areas along the Route 33 corridor."
The expansion of degree programs at the Logan Campus, home of the Hocking College Energy Institute, will permit the College to integrate curriculum featuring sustainable themes into more educational offerings. Not only will four more programs now be offered at the Logan Campus, but Hocking College also plans to expand student services with the addition of admissions and financial aid associates.
Hocking College is in the process of developing 18,000 square feet of hands-on laboratory classrooms in the building adjacent to the Energy Institute. "The new space will provide a better learning environment and enhance students' educational experiences," Erickson said.
The move is scheduled to be completed in time for the 2012-2013 academic year, when Hocking College transitions from a quarterly academic calendar to one based on semesters.
As these programs move to the Logan campus, additional space will be made available on main campus to accommodate other programs. For example, Holl Laboratory will be the new home of the Art, Design and Marketing program. Hocking College will retain the gallery presence on the historic Nelsonville Square, but art program classes will be housed in Holl Lab.
