The Missouri Valley Line Constructors Jobs, Apprenticeship, and Training Center (Missouri Valley JATC) needed an attractive, multifunctional, and resilient space to provide hands-on job training for industrial trades. The result is a 49,000 square foot state-of-the-art training facility with classrooms, training labs, office spaces, and an indoor pole climbing facility that clears 50 feet from floor to ceiling with a catwalk for instructors mounted 27 feet in the air along the perimeter.

Building Features
This unique project features a combination of pre-engineered metal buildings tying together with structural masonry, precast, and structural stud framing. Corten columns on the front facade of the building give the illusion of wooden power line poles supporting the buildings main entry canopy.
The interior of the building in the training areas entertains the industrial feel with painted exposed decking, joists and MEP rough-ins over exposed, sealed concrete floors and epoxy coated flooring. The entry and office space areas have a ceiling combination of acoustical tile, exposed decking, joists, wood hanging clouds over carpeted flooring and polished concrete.
In addition to the building portion of this project there is 77,000 square of paving and 13,000 square feet of sidewalks and flumes.
