Universal Technical Institute (UTI) celebrated its expanded Dallas campus with a ribbon cutting on Tuesday, including public officials, community leaders and employer partners.
"This new facility underscores our ongoing commitment to offering industry-aligned training in areas where there's strong demand for skilled workers," says Kevin Renner, campus president. "We value our longtime partnership with the Texas business community and look forward to working with additional employers seeking to fill their talent pipelines with the programs offered at our expanded campus."

The expansion features an additional 125,000 square feet of training space, including 15 classrooms, six labs and 16 combined classroom/lab environments. It will allow the campus to serve nearly 1,000 students looking for training in aviation, HVACR, electrical and energy-related fields, automotive, diesel and welding.
"It was an honor to join Universal Technical Institute at the ribbon cutting in Coppell," says Texas state Rep. Garcia Hernandez. "By expanding training opportunities in high-demand fields, UTI is helping prepare the skilled workforce our economy depends on. I am excited to celebrate this milestone and grateful for UTI's continued commitment to providing students with the education and hands-on training they need to build rewarding careers while strengthening our communities."
