Campus President Kevin Renner said, "This new facility underscores our ongoing commitment to offering industry-aligned training in areas where there's strong demand for skilled workers."

The event also included a Distinguished Alumni Award presentation to Jeremy Oskins, a 1996 UTI-Houston graduate who now teaches automotive and robotics at Comanche Independent School District.
