About
Jefferson Community and Technical College (Jefferson) is in the process of transforming our flagship downtown Louisville campus, elevating the student, staff, visitor, and community experience serving as a catalyst for transformational downtown redevelopment. Jefferson Rising, a $90 million, multi-year renovation project will create a dynamic campus life, with dedicated areas for students and staff to gather, study, and relax.
Jefferson Rising will feature modern, state-of-the-art facilities, including the new Center for Science and Discovery, a 40,000+ square foot building with cutting-edge labs and classrooms. Additionally, students will have access to a new mathematics and general education facility, park-like gathering spaces to learn and engage with peers, and a four-level parking garage that can accommodate more than 500 cars. These updates will connect students to an accessible, thriving campus that fosters academic and extracurricular success for all.
Our vision for Jefferson Rising goes above and beyond this new appearance, we’re showing students they are worthy of a world-class college experience to encourage individual success and a wider sense of community.
With the support of the community, Jefferson Rising will ensure Jefferson continues to be a shinning beacon of hope and opportunity as well as a trusted leader in the region’s educational and economic growth.
