Kansas Technology Center

Opened in 1997, this sprawling, state-of-the-art facility is home to PSU’s College of Technology. It includes Automotive Technology, Engineering Technology, Graphic and Imaging Technologies, Technology and Workforce Learning, and the School of Construction. Many of the programs within those departments are unique in the nation, including Architectural Manufacturing Management and Technology, Caterpillar ThinkBIGGER, and Plastics Engineering Technology.

It is the largest building on the PSU campus — and one of the largest in the region — at 286,000 square feet. Two wings of the building were dedicated as the City of Pittsburg Technology Building and the Gene Bicknell Tech Building. On May 31, 2004, a third wing was dedicated as the Sen. Robert J. Dole Technology Building. That September, a fourth wing was dedicated as the Gov. Bill Graves Technology Building. A fifth wing was dedicated as the Gov. Joan Finney Technology Building in April 2005.
