Carson City School Board OKs purchase of CHS Tech Center building from WNC for $100
Western Nevada College’s Tech Center, which has been on Carson High School property since it was built in 2000, will finally be transferred to the high school.
The college recently requested a transfer in ownership of the Jim Randolph High Tech Center to the school district, which the Carson City School District Board of Trustees approved of during their June 2024 meeting.
The building was first constructed in February 2000 on the CHS campus, which has since been used for classes for both the high school and the college outside of school hours. The construction was paid for by the Nevada Legislature in 1997. At the time, it was a way to provide computer and other technology access to students, as well as host evening and night courses for the college.
It has been some time, however, since the tech center has been regularly used to host night courses according to Carson City Superintendent Andrew Feuling. With online courses readily available, night courses are not as necessary as they were in the 90s.
“We’ve gotten to a point where WNC doesn’t seem to need to have that physical presence during the nighttime hours,” Feuling said.
The college and district determined it would better suit both organizations to turn the building over entirely to the district.
The purchase and transfer cost from the district will be $100.
While trustees approved the transfer unanimously, the proposal will need to go before the Nevada System of Higher Education Board of Rejects in September for final approval.
