Roanoke County
Career & Technology Center
Roanoke, Virginia
Branch, in partnership with RRMM Architects and Balzer & Associates, was selected by Roanoke County Public Schools via PPEA Design-Build procurement to design and construct a new state-of-the-art Career Technical Education Center. The new CTE Center project will provide a new home with modern CTE space, equipment and technology to replace RCPS’ highly regarded Arnold Burton Center for Arts & Technology. The Branch design-build team has worked collaboratively with RCPS and County officials to thoughtfully plan and develop a program that meets the educational aspirations of Roanoke County’s curriculum and its students.
