Emphasizing Kansas Tech's Mission DTGCIITTS of the Future RGCIIIZSCT In the Fall of 1983, there occurred a most auspicious moment: the ground was broken for the beginning of Tom Creech's dream-Kansas Tech's Technology Center. Students and faculty watched over the next two and one half years as the building took shape. When Tom Creech first began visualizing what was to become the Technology Center, he thought in terms of Kansas Tech's mission. The concept of training technicians for the nation's workforce would play an integral role in the design of the building. On May 11, 1985, Creech welcomed Governor John Carlin to campus for the purpose of officially dedicating and opening the building for use. Other state administrators were on hand to share in the festivities, which included the celebration of Kansas Tech's 20th anniversary, as well. The finished design of the building held up to everyone's wildest reveries. The sharp angles, the clever use of glass, the colors of steel and blue and the aerie feeling within exemplified Kansas Tech. The Tech Center will be used as the hub of the campus: other buildings will eventually go up which will be connected to it as spokes to a wheel. As new educational facilities crop up across the high-tech campus, the remnants of Schilling Air Force Base will be torn down.
