Technical Education
expanding, improving
with new facility
Over the next year, Lamar State College Port
Arthur students and Port Arthur residents will see
more expansion of the campus with the new
Technical Education Center.
Construction of the Technical Education Center
begins in 2016 with completion set for Fall 2017.
This state-of-the-art facility will house Process
Technology, Instrumentation Technology,
Drafting and Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning
(HVAC) programs. As the college expands its
industrial technology programs, they too will find
a home in the new facility.

This beautiful new addition will become an
architectural focal point in the middle of the
campus. And existing technical program
facilities will be repurposed for other classes
and programs.
“The Technical Education Center is another
exciting opportunity for Lamar State College Port
Arthur to make a positive impact on its students,
the area’s industrial industry and the success of
the community as a whole,” said LSCPA
President Dr. Betty Reynard. “As we continue to
expand our physical presence, our main goal is to
create an atmosphere that caters to the needs of
the various industries in the region, but particularly the petrochemical industry.
“The new facility will stand out as a jewel in our
already beautiful campus,” she said. “It represents
our future, one we are eager to take hold of and
pursue for the sake of the success of Port Arthur
and Southeast Texas.”
