ACTC Starts BuildSmart Campaign;

ACTC Starts BuildSmart Campaign;

Ashland Community and Technical College is beginning a year-long BuildSmart Campaign to raise funds for renovation of the original building on the College Drive Campus.

ACTC’s $10 million renovation project includes replacement of the obsolete heating and air conditioning system in the Main Classroom building that was constructed in 1967. A new HVAC Energy Management Control System and other upgrades will prepare the nearly 50-year old building for future generations of students.

BuildSmart Investment for Kentucky Competiveness is a public-private partnership approved by the Kentucky General Assembly earlier this year to fund the top capital project needs at each KCTCS college.  Student-funded bond issues will pay 75 percent of the cost of each college project, and the individual colleges must raise the rest.

ACTC must have $2.5 million in local matching funds in place by February 2016 in order to access the agency bonds. The Campaign by ACTC’s Foundation includes classroom and laboratory naming opportunities, a Commemorative Brick Project, and the raffle of a Triumph donated by Professor Emeritus Ernie Tucker.

For over 75 years, ACTC has been providing quality education, life-long learning experiences and cultural programs to Tri-State residents. Although there have been several fund-raising campaigns in the college’s history to construct new buildings, this is the first to focus on renovation of existing facilities.

Professor Emeritus Ernest Tucker has donated a 1969 Triumph for a raffle to support the Campaign. For more information on BuildSmart or the car raffle, contact Willie McCullough, ACTC Dean of Resource Development and External Affairs, 606-326-2068 or email:  willie.mccullough@kctcs.edu.

Gifts Make a Difference

Corporate, institutional and individual donations support student scholarships as well as a variety of special events and campus improvement projects. Donations are made to ACTC through the Community and Technical College Foundation of Ashland, Inc., ACTC’s fund-raising arm. Some of the gifts received in 2014 are listed below.

Last fall, ACTC awarded 158 scholarships totaling $116,000. Many scholarships are supported by endowments from area businesses, organizations and individuals.

Marathon Petroleum Company, LP established the Kevin McClain Memorial Scholarship for minorities and women enrolled in ACTC’s Applied Process Technologies Program. The scholarships are designed to help build a skilled and diverse workforce and provide $3,000 a year for college expenses.

Other scholarship donors last year included American Electric Power, American Legion Post 76, Kaplan-Simons Family Foundation, Kiwanis Club of Ashland, Maude Bell Brown Trust, P.E.O. Chapter A. J., and Bennie Shields.
