The Dwayne Peaslee Technical Training Center is a combined effort by business and industry, the Economic Development Council of Lawrence and Douglas County, City of Lawrence, Douglas County, the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, and Unified School District 497.
This initiative was generated out of the fabric of our community after several decades of recognition that Lawrence lacks technical skills training. A new technical training campus, located at 2920 Haskell Avenue in Lawrence, includes two buildings: the Dwayne Peaslee Technical Training Center (under renovation) and the USD 497 College and Career Center (under construction). These two buildings will house more than 100,000 square feet of space.
