Asheville–Buncombe Technical Community College

(Asheville–Buncombe Technical Community College ) is a public two-year community college established in 1959 in Asheville, North Carolina. The college is one of the oldest in the North Carolina Community College System that serves Buncombe and Madison counties, although students from anywhere may enroll. As of the 2012-2013 school year, the curriculum enrollment was 11,308 with an extension enrollment of 15,240 students. These figures make the school one of the largest in the North Carolina system.

Accreditation programs recognizing A-B Tech include the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, the North Carolina Board of Nursing, the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences, the Joint Review Committee on Education Radiologic Technology, the American Dental Association, the Commission on Dental Accreditation, and the Accreditation Review Committee on Education in Surgical Technology.
History〔http://www.abtech.edu/a-b-tech-catalog/organization/history〕
Asheville–Buncombe Technical Community College was originally funded by a bond election, the institution was established on April 3, 1958 and began serving students September 1, 1959 as the Asheville-Buncombe Industrial Education Center.
Following legislation creating the North Carolina System of Community Colleges, that was enacted in 1963 by the General Assembly, the name was changed on January 9, 1964 to Asheville-Buncombe Technical Institute. This legislation enabled the College to confer the Associate in Applied Science degree for the first time at graduation ceremonies in August 1964.
The Board of Trustees approved a third name change to Asheville-Buncombe Technical College on August 6, 1979. A final name change occurred November 2, 1987 when the Board of Trustees approved Asheville–Buncombe Technical Community College, an action that became official when endorsed by the Buncombe County Commissioners on November 3, 1987.
In October 1988, the College received approval to offer associate degree programs. In September 1989, the College enrolled its first class for the Associate in Science degree. The Associate in Arts degree was first offered during summer quarter 1990-91.
On January 18, 1990, A-B Tech officially opened a site in Madison County. The College had served the county out of temporary quarters at the Marshall Elementary School since December 12, 1984.
By the fall term of 1997, the College had re-engineered all programs and converted to the semester system.
On October 23, 2000, BASF Corporation donated nearly 37 acres and three buildings to A-B Tech to establish a satellite site in Enka that includes a Business Development and Incubation Program, a Small Business Center, pro bono professional services, a student incubation program, a technology training and conference center, a bio-business center, an institute for sustainability and technology, and a commercial kitchen.
On November 8, 2011, voters approved a quarter of one cent sales tax increase to fund a $129 million construction campaign to provide 21st century facilities to train students for 21st century jobs.
Curriculum〔http://www.abtech.edu/a-b-tech-catalog/organization/curricula〕
The first program offered by the College was Practical Nursing. Electronics Engineering Technology and the Machinist programs were started in 1960. These three curricula are still offered along with many other career and college transfer programs.
The College offers the Associate in Arts, the Associate in Science, the Associate in Fine Arts, and the Associate in Applied Science degrees, diplomas, and certificates.
Historic Buildings

The Asheville–Buncombe Technical Community College main campus is located on the former estate of Col. John Kerr, a veteran (Confederate) of the American Civil War. 〔http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=caswellcounty&id=I30406〕 The 144 acre campus includes several historic buildings, including Fernihurst, the Smith-McDowell house and Sunnicrest.
Fernihurst, the former summer residence of Col. John Kerr, is a brick Italinate style house named after the Kerr family castle in Scotland. Located on a hill, south of the Smith-McDowell house, Fernihurst is currently part of the A-B Tech Community College Culinary Arts Program.
The Smith-McDowell house, located on the A-B Tech Community College campus, was constructed in 1840 for James McConnell Smith. The house is the oldest brick building in Buncombe County,〔http://www.wnchistory.org/people.html〕 and is currently a nonprofit museum and is included in the National Register of Historic Places.
Sunnicrest is one of five, and the only remaining, R.S. Smith-designed model cottages built by George Vanderbilt on Vernon Hill in what was then the town of Victoria. Sunnicrest currently houses the Human Resources Department of the A-B Tech Community College. 〔From CABINS AND CASTLES, edited by Douglas Swaim, REF NC 975.688 C115, Central Asheville CA:38 (ca. 1895)〕
