Shelton State Community College plans a $1.25 million renovation and expansion of its automotive technology building on the C.A. Fredd campus.

The Alabama Community College System board of trustees has approved the project, which would allow Shelton to double the capacity of its automotive technology programs.

The project, approved May 8, would renovate the existing building and add an additional 4,800 square feet of space. It would also update the building's furniture, technology, and HVAC, according to a presentation to trustees in April. The size of the renovated building would be 13,400 square feet, according to the April presentation.
