A Statement of Need and Value of Rowan Technical Institute <br /> <br /> As It Serves Cabarrus County Citizens <br /> <br /> History of Service <br /> <br /> Since its early beginning Rowan Technical Institute has served the citizen,s of <br /> Cabarrns County in the field of adult education. Rowan Tech has always taken <br /> this responsibility seriously. <br /> <br />In 1965, Rowan Tech was allowed to begin using approximately 6,000 square Feet <br />of space in seven classrooms at the Cabarras County School office building. This <br />space has been provided rent and utility free through the generosity, of the past <br />superh]tendent Dr. Jay Robinson and the present superintendent Dr. Joe Fries and <br />the Cabarrus Board of EducatiOn. <br /> <br />However, the Cabarrus County School System has for the past several years needed <br />this space; so that Rowan Tech now has only one classroom and one office-lab <br />containing 1,320 square feet. <br /> <br />In addition to this center in Concord, through the efforts of interested citizens <br />such as William S. Murdoch, Dwight Ouinn, T. H. Wingate, Fred Drummond, Homer Friday <br />and others, Rowan Tech opened another Cabarrns Center in Kannapolis in May, 1974. <br />This center has expanded into a very valuable asset to the cc~,,~,~nity. It has been <br />provided rent and utility free by Cmu]on Mills Company. <br /> <br /> <br />
