The Westside Education and Training Center is part of the City of Las Vegas Historic Westside Community “Hundred” plan that envisions “a thriving district of African American culture in Las Vegas. It will be a unique place where the world will come together to live, work, visit, and play through the development of housing, local business, jobs, education, hospitality, and cultural pride.”
Carpenter Sellers Del Gatto Architects, in partnership with KME Architects, designed the 16,000-square-foot education and training facility on the corner of D Street and Jefferson Avenue. This facility is a partnership with the City of Las Vegas and the College of Southern Nevada. It will provide credentialed job training programs in high-demand, high-wage industries such as advanced manufacturing, health care, technology, and construction trades. Programming includes a healthcare laboratory, classrooms, computer lab, offices, and vocational classrooms. The site layout provides parking, a pad for a future incubator space, an outdoor community plaza, and a pedestrian connection to the Historic Westside School.
