Tri-County Technical College celebrates the grand opening of Oconee Hall

Tri-County Technical College proudly hosted a grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony for its newest facility, Oconee Hall, marking a significant milestone in the college’s commitment to enhancing student success and academic excellence. The grand opening ceremony included remarks from college leadership, tours of the newly renovated building, and a ceremonial ribbon cutting. This state-of-the-art building will welcome students for classes starting in the Spring semester.

The renovated and expanded Oconee Hall has undergone a remarkable transformation. The three-story academic building expanded from 34,000-square-feet to 49,000-square-feet and has been completely revitalized to reflect the College’s mission of “building strong communities, one student at a time.”

Featuring state-of-the-art classrooms, a faculty neighborhood, collaborative spaces, a 200-seat auditorium, and a new rooftop terrace, the facility is poised to enhance the educational experience for TCTC students.

The design, led by DP3 Architects, integrates higher education strategies that promote collaboration and engagement. By creating inviting spaces such as collaborative lounges and study areas, the new Oconee Hall encourages students to remain on campus, fostering community and enhancing retention and academic success. The building’s modernized aesthetic aligns with TCTC’s recent brand refresh and complements the architecture of the surrounding campus.

“DP3 Architects is proud to partner with Tri-County Technical College and Harper General Contractors to create an environment that supports the College’s commitment to student success,” said Meg Terry, Principal at DP3 Architects. “Oconee Hall is a testament to how thoughtful design and team collaboration can transform not just spaces but also educational experiences.”

DP3 Architects and Harper General Contractors are thrilled to contribute to this significant milestone for Tri-County Technical College and look forward to seeing Oconee Hall positively impact the campus community.
