Hutchison Career Center

This is a Voc-Tech center associated with the University. Classes like welding, mechanics, construction, equipment maintenance, and other such trades are taught here. The building is undergoing a major renovation lately, and has been almost completely gutted in order to add several new sections.


Hutchison Career Center

A voc-tech type facility near the University, this building was recently gutted for renovation.


The interior was very photogenic with the sodium lamps everywhere.


Traffic outside the buidling.


This is the alien cocoon chamber


The main mech room and it's connection to the buried steam lines (no tunnels here)


Buried steam lines and small metal vaults that access them for maintenance.


Interior stuff later in the construction, pretty standard construction site with a few unique parts.


Artsy time exposures from the roof and inside the larger rooms.


This is one freaking huge lockout tag! (That's a full size door frame on the right).



This is the fun part: out behind the building is a big pile of old planes and helicoptors used for flight training and aircraft mechanics classeses. I was pretty excited to find this, since I was on an "old plane" track and trying to find the helicoptor graveyard out at the airport which Spartacus had told me about from his days in Fairbanks.

Mmm... old planes... The more intact ones were on the ground, but there were stacks of fuselages, wings, engines, and parts on the ground and up on top of some storage containers.


The largest prop plane there, with almost a full set of controls (maybe for ground school?) If you see this nutcase at the controls it's time to bail out.

There were two huey helicoptors, one with no rotors or tail section, and another with all exterior parts but a stripped interior full of trash.
