Odessa College broke ground on Sewell Auto Tech in August 2018 after Collin Sewell and the Sewell Family donated the old Sewell Ford campus, which includes seven acres, to the college for the new facility’s construction. The construction of the building was funded in part by a $6.2 million grant from the Odessa Development Corporation.
The 37,000-square-foot
Sewell Auto Tech facility includes seven classrooms, 12 teaching bays, four diesel teaching bays, labs for diesel engines, automotive engines, and transmissions.
It also houses the Professional Truck Driving Academy with state-of-the-art driving simulators, as well as paved parking and driving courses.
The Automotive and Diesel Technology program offers the latest in auto and diesel technology training with new classes starting every eight weeks with weekend and summer classes available.
