While you can’t see the sheet metal or welding labs — or even a classroom — when driving by the Commercial Avenue Education Center on the corner of Commercial and Packers Avenue, it’s still evident that hands-on learning is happening at this space. This campus houses Madison College’s Construction and Remodeling design program and is the primary training center for many apprentices. The tiny homes and sheds you see outside are built by apprentices at Madison College and sold to residents in the Madison community.
