The Alexandria Technical & Community College hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony on August 7, 2024, to celebrate the grand opening of the J.A. Wedum Foundation Hall. The new student housing project marks a significant milestone in the college’s ongoing growth and commitment to providing students with a vibrant and supportive living environment.

J.A. Wedum Foundation Hall, a four-story, 60,000-square-foot building, offers 150 beds to students providing safe, convenient, and affordable housing next to campus. Designed to be more than just a place to live, the new facility aims to foster creativity, collaboration, and personal growth, serving as a hub where lifelong memories will be made.

"We are incredibly grateful for the unwavering support from our donors, the project development team, and the Alexandria Technical & Community College Foundation Board of Directors, local and state partners," said Jeff Wild, Alexandria College's VP Advancement & Outreach and Executive Director of Foundation. "Their dedication and commitment to this project made it possible for us to continue building a brighter future for our students and the community."

The Alexandria College Foundation has already experienced strong demand for housing, with its existing Foundation Hall maintaining 100% occupancy since opening in 2011. The addition of J.A. Wedum Foundation Hall is a welcome development that will help meet the growing needs of the college.
