On Thursday, February 27, the Board of Commissioners will join staff and students at Camden County Technical School in Pennsauken to celebrate the expansion of the culinary arts program.

The $7.6 million expansion, funded through the Securing Our Children's Future Bond Act, will create an area exclusively for baking and pastry arts. Spanning the first and second floor of the main building, the addition added more than 20,000 square feet and includes a culinary career lab on each floor, an instructional support and service simulation kitchen, two theory/instructional classrooms, cold storage, and student changing rooms.

“This expansion will benefit our students greatly as they will have better access to programming that will prepare them for careers after graduation,” said Commissioner Jonthan Young, liaison to CCTS. “This new baking and pastry arts area will give students the hands-on experience they need to find success. We are thrilled that this expansion is complete, and we look forward to seeing just how impactful this new baking and pastry arts area is.”
