Joe Hendrick Center for Automotive Technology CPPC's vision is to be the leading national educator in the field of Automotive Technology. Thanks in part to a generous grant from the Hendrick Companies in honor of Mr. Rick Hendrick's father, Papa Joe Hendrick, CPCC has endeavored to create the premier electrical & fuels training facility in the region on their Levine Campus in Matthews, North Carolina to compliment their new engines and transmissions training labs on their North Campus near Huntersville. Redline was awarded the job based on its extensive experience in the automotive marketplace. This facility provides manufacturer-approved and sponsored training for Toyota, General Motors and BMW. A unique feature of this facility is the class/lab layout in which the classroom acts as a lab, offering hands-on training on the actual vehicle. Many of the labs have vehicles on lifts within the classroom, simulating a typical service repair bay. The classrooms also employ smart technology to give the instructors an unlimited range of instruction techniques within one room. There is also general service bays in an adjacent "shop" environment for miscellaneous instruction. The electrical & fuels labs incorporate special technology to teach students on individual automotive systems and components. Supports spaces include large storage facilities for engines and transmissions, instructor and administrative staff offices, and a lobby incorporated some vehicle display as well as a tribute to Papa Joe Hendrick. The design of the building is a complex blend of the highly technical aspects of the automotive industry to represent the current technologies in the industry and the stately elements of a well-established campus architecture. The result is a truly transitional building that blends well with the campus and the individual utilization of the facility. |
