  1. Kennebec Valley Community College Your path to success for 40 years

  2. Kennebec Valley Vocational Technical Institute (KVVTI) – 1969 -1989Kennebec Valley was the sixth vocational technical institute to be established in Maine. The name was meant to reflect its primary mission of providing a high level of education for the working people of the greater Waterville area.

  3. Waterville High SchoolThe original site of KVVTI1970 - 1983 For the first years of its existence, KVVTI shared space with the Waterville Regional Vocational Center and Waterville High School, which housed all three entities. With limited space, KV could only offer courses after the close of the high school schedule.

  4. Carpentry was one of the original programs offered by KVVTI

  5. Gilman CampusA.K.A. Gilman St. School1978 - 1986 In 1978, KVVTI was able to lease the recently vacated Waterville Junior High School building on Gilman Street. The institution was now in a better position to establish its own identity. Unfortunately, for logistical reasons, two programs – Heavy Equipment Maintenance and Carpentry – could not be moved to the new campus. KV continued to operate at two separate locations in Waterville until 1983.

This time around it was the Trades and Technology programs that were the first to be relocated. Between 1982 and 1983 the first programs were established at the Institutions current location. It was not until 1986 that all programs and offices were able to move to Fairfield.

  12. The original building that became known as Frye was the former headquarters of the Sheridan Corporation. It was named after long-time supporter and Advisory Board member Muriel Frye and serves to this day as administrative offices . The building was renovated and expanded in order to house the Trades & Technology programs. The new wing was named for the Institutes first Director, Frederick Whitney.

  18. Kennebec Valley Technical College (KVTC)1989 – 2003 In the summer of 1989 a bill passed by the 114th legislature authorized the state VTI system to change its name. Upon Governor McKernan’s signing on June 22nd all vocational technical institutes became technical colleges. The change was intended to indicate the growing role that the system was playing in both higher education and the state’s economy. Part of this was demonstrated by an increased focus on Associate degree programs. By the time the bill had passed and been sign roughly half of all VTI students were enrolled in a two year degree program.
