Ranken Technical College Looking for More Space in Wentzville

Ranken Technical College is already nearly at its student goal for year three of its Wentzville satellite campus—two years ahead of time—and they are looking to expand.

At a meeting of the St. Louis Regional Chamber Economic Development Networking meeting held on Ranken Technical College’s main campus in St. Louis Thursday, Ranken President Stan Shoun announced that Ranken now has 140 students registered at their Wentzville location.

Shoun said that Ranken’s original goal was to have 150 students by year three of the operation of the Wentzville satellite campus. 

The college is already searching for more space in Wentzville, Shoun said.

Ranken began looking at locations in Wentzville back in January of 2012. An agreement with the city assisted with the funding for the leasing of a site and with staffing for the satellite campus.

Ranken was offered space at the Carpenters Building about a year ago, and began offering courses this past spring.
