Welding and Wing Lab Renovations

The Welding and Wing Lab project was developed to expand program capacity while maintaining continuous operation of one of the school’s most active programs. Construction was completed in two phases, utilizing existing vacant space to establish a new welding facility prior to renovating the original space.

The new welding facility includes 50 welding stations, a CNC cutting table, a full fume collection system, and expanded outdoor material storage. Upon completion, the existing welding space was renovated to support the Wing Lab (Airframe) program. Watford Engineering provided HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and architectural engineering services for both phases, including new finishes throughout classrooms, offices, shops, and ancillary spaces.
