Wake Tech is closed Monday in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Prospective students can still apply online, and current students can register for 12- and eight-week Spring semester courses. The college will reopen Tuesday morning.
Wake Tech’s Outdoor Geology Laboratory (OGL) is a unique learning environment – a collection of rock boulders representing North Carolina’s varied geological makeup. This hands-on laboratory, named "Mountains to the Sea Outdoor Geology Lab Pathway," includes 13 boulders collected by Wake Tech geology faculty from 11 quarry sites across the state. A 14th boulder was later added to the Scott Northern Wake Campus OGL when the foundation for Building H was being dug and the workers struck rock.
An Outdoor Geology Laboratory was installed at both the Scott Northern Wake and Southern Wake campuses, providing students with hands-on learning experiences to reinforce classroom education in geology. The boulders were a generous gift from Martin Marietta Materials.
