Cleveland Campus Facility Additions & Upgrades

Fitness Center Expansion

We expanded our Fitness Center by 830 square feet to give public safety students space for pre-workout stretching and task-specific workout activities. The space aligns directly with academic curricular needs mandated by the Wisconsin Department of Justice. The glass hallway wall provides students the ability to see which machines are available before entering the Fitness Center. Fitness Center is free to students, staff, and Village of Cleveland residents.

Collaboration Room

As part of the Lakeshore building upgrades, we created a new collaboration room conveniently located near the Student Welcome Center. A large monitor and white board have been installed on the walls of this easily accessed space where students can meet with staff.

I.D.E.A. Lounge

Also part of the Lakeshore building upgrades was the creation of a multicultural student lounge near the Student Services Welcome Center. Students assisted with naming the lounge. “I.D.E.A.” is an acronym for Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Access. The prime location supports our efforts to assure all students that they are welcome on our campus.

Culinary Arts Moves to Cleveland

A new, state-of-the-art culinary arts learning environment opened in August 2020 on our Cleveland campus. Instruction had been taking place at a Sheboygan facility since 2012 when our Culinary Arts program launched. The relocation of the program, which is accredited by the American Culinary Federation, allows students to learn and hone their skills in a newly constructed commercial kitchen custom-designed for educational purposes.

The move also allows for more convenient access to vital college services including academic assistance and financial aid, as well as expanded opportunities to become engaged in student activities.

Kohler will provide up to 10 students per year with the opportunity to have paid work at Kohler Hospitality and Real Estate for 20 hours per week, AND receive up to 100% tuition reimbursement for courses completed in the LTC Culinary Arts program.

New Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Program Begins

Students enrolled in our Residential HVAC Installer program are learning in a new heating and air conditioning lab on our Cleveland campus. We remodeled approximately 3,400 square feet of space in our Agriculture and Energy building to house the new lab featuring eight learner stations consisting of full residential-style heating and air conditioning systems. There is also a sheet metal fabrication area, hydronic boiler lab, and stations for pipe cutting, fitting, threading, and brazing.

The HVAC Residential Installer program launched in 2020-2021 and has already achieved 100% student placement within the HVAC industry.
