In September 1965, Chattanooga State became Tennessee's first technical college and Southeast Tennessee's first public institution of higher education. It was originally known as Chattanooga State Technical Institute and was classified as a two-year, coeducational, college-level institution. The college was founded to offer technical programs with Associate in Science and Associate in Engineering degrees, primarily to meet industry needs and "to bridge the gap between engineers and craftsmen."〔Corlew, Robert E., and William B. Wheeler. ''Tennessee, the Volunteer State: An Illustrated History'' (Sun Valley, CA: American Historical Press, 2008), p. 190.〕 In 1973, Chattanooga State Technical Institute became Chattanooga State Technical Community College. Specifics of Senate Bill 1010 mandated that the college provide comprehensive one and two-year occupational, college parallel, continuing education, and community service programs; offer quality technical and scientific occupational programs; and serve as a regional technical school to train engineering technicians or technical workers in the fields of production, distribution, and service.〔 The college was under the State Board of Education until 1974 when it became part of the ''State Community College and University System'', which was later renamed the Tennessee Board of Regents. With that administrative change the college identified the counties in its service area: Hamilton, Rhea, Bledsoe, Sequatchie, Marion, and Grundy counties in Tennessee and border counties in Georgia.〔Corlew, Robert E., and William B. Wheeler. ''Tennessee, the Volunteer State: An Illustrated History'' (Sun Valley, CA: American Historical Press, 2008), p. 191.〕 In 1981, the State Area Vocational-Technical School, now known as the Tennessee College of Applied Technology (TCAT), entered into a pilot merger with Chattanooga State Technical Community College. Consequently the college added vocational education to its mission. In July 1983 the Tennessee legislature officially recognized the merger, creating a unique partnership between vocational and career programs. With this merger the college began offering one-year certificates in fields such as industrial electronics, automotive technology, and welding.〔 In 2009, the college was renamed Chattanooga State Community College when Senate Bill 681 became law.〔Public Acts, 2009, State of Tennessee, Public Chapter No. 352, Senate Bill No. 681 http://www.state.tn.us/sos/acts/106/pub/pc0352.pdf. Retrieved 11 April 2011.〕 Over the years, the college has collaborated with business and industry to achieve several milestones. In 2006 the college acquired the building and land which had been the world headquarters of the portrait photography company, Olan Mills, Inc., which added and to the campus, and was renamed the Center for Business, Industry, and Health Professions.〔“Chattanooga State - The Power of Achievement,” p. 10.
