Wake Tech East, in Wendell, opened in April 2024, featuring a Public Safety Simulation Complex, a hub for academic programs and student services and activities, and an award-winning energy plant. The public safety building includes a 4D immersive streetscape for training first responders and a track for emergency vehicle and pursuit training. Beginning in August 2024, the site will offer courses for Associate in Arts, Associate in Science and Associate in Engineering students, as well as Emergency Medical Science AAS students. Plans for the 106-acre site include an Advanced Technology Center that will be the new home of the Biopharmaceutical Technology program, state-of-the-art labs for unmanned aircraft systems training and more.
