GLENDALE, Ariz., Jan. 10, 2025 ~ Phoenix, AZ - West-MEC, a career technical education school district (CTED) in the West Valley, has recently announced the groundbreaking of a $13.5 million expansion project at its Northeast Campus. The ceremony was attended by representatives from West-MEC, Orcutt I Winslow, and McCarthy Building Companies Inc.
The expansion project will add two new training facilities to the campus located at 1617 W. Williams Dr. in Phoenix. These facilities will be equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and will provide more space to accommodate additional students.
According to Dr. Scott Spurgeon, West-MEC's Superintendent, the demand for advanced manufacturing, welding, and electric vehicle (EV) repair is on the rise in Arizona and across the nation. He stated that this expansion project is a step towards ensuring that students receive proper education and workforce experience to prepare them for successful careers in these industries.

The new 16,500-square-foot advanced manufacturing and welding building will feature an advanced manufacturing lab and cleanroom. It will also include a cutting-edge 2,000-square-foot electric vehicle bay with teaching facilities and first-hand instructional areas.
"We wanted to ensure we had a top-of-the-line space for our students and enough courses to account for the next generation of workers," said Dr. Spurgeon.
The project is designed by Orcutt I Winslow and constructed by McCarthy Building Companies Inc., with an expected completion date before the 2025-2026 school year.
This expansion project is just one of many on the horizon for West-MEC as they continue to grow and provide quality education to their students. For more information on the expansion project, West-MEC, and their programs offered, visit their website at west-mec.edu.
