KTEC Schools of Innovation Announces Grand Opening of New Kenosha Campus
Kenosha is about to witness a major step forward in education, workforce development, and community partnership.
KTEC Schools of Innovation will celebrate the opening of its new campus this summer, marking a transformative milestone in its mission to deliver hands-on, STEM-focused learning experiences for students across the region. Community members, local businesses, and organizations are invited to join in the celebration and be part of this exciting new chapter.
An Investment in the Future
KTEC’s new campus represents an investment in education and community growth. The school has purchased and is renovating the former Pick ’n Save building, transforming a vacant property into a vibrant center for learning and opportunity.
By fall 2026, KTEC will relocate its 4K–12 program from its current location on 39th Avenue into this new, expanded facility. Construction is being led by trusted local partners, with J.H. Findorff & Sons, Inc. serving as general contractor and Kenosha-based Partners in Design overseeing architectural planning.

“This is an incredibly exciting opportunity for all of our students,” said Angela Andersson, CEO and Executive Director of KTEC. “This new campus is being made possible because of the incredible partnerships we’ve built with industry and education. Together, we’re ensuring that our students have access to the tools, training, and inspiration they need to become the innovators of the future.”
