Tech is Evolving—
Moraine Park Technical College celebrated the groundbreaking of the new Health and Human Services wing on the Fond du Lac campus on Nov. 3—marking the start of the College’s fourth project funded by the 2022 referendum.
The 44,926-square-foot project, including an 8,908-square-foot addition, will modernize classrooms, labs and simulation spaces to reflect real-world settings found in hospitals, long-term care facilities, clinics and emergency service areas. An additional 7,048-square-foot renovation, separate from the referendum budget, will house general science education and cosmetology classrooms.
The project will be completed in two phases. Phase one of the construction, which is currently underway, will add the simulation spaces and update existing areas for radiography, medical lab technician, surgical technology and respiratory therapy programs. Phase two, which will begin later in 2026, will remodel the remaining health care wing.
The new facility will serve more than 500 students annually across 10 programs, including Criminal Justice, Early Childhood Education, Emergency Medical Services, Medical Assistant, Medical Lab Technician, Nursing, Radiography, Respiratory Therapy and Surgical Technology.
The Moraine Park Foundation launched a $750,000 fundraising campaign to help equip the new Health and Human Services wing with modern technology and training tools. These investments will ensure students train in realistic, industry-standard environments and graduate workforce-ready. Naming opportunities are available for community partners who wish to invest in the future of health and human services education across the region.
Construction on the Health and Human Services wing is expected to be completed in time for the fall 2026 semester, marking a new era for Moraine Park students and the district’s workforce.
What’s Next
Moraine Park is doing even more with the community’s investment.
Through diligent planning and responsible financial stewardship, the College completed its four approved projects so efficiently that funding remains available to advance an additional, much-needed initiative that has long been a priority for the College.
As a result, Moraine Park will move forward with a fifth and final project starting in the summer of 2026: expanding the Horicon Regional Center to include Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) training. The expansion will feature a dedicated driving track, a storage building with a loading dock, and additional classroom spaces to support the hands-on, high-demand workforce training.
This expansion strengthens the college’s commitment to meeting regional workforce needs while maximizing every dollar entrusted to us.
