The AMPED Technology Training Center is an initiative in Louisville’s Russell neighborhood, spearheaded by the nonprofit AMPED (Academy of Music Production Education and Development).  Beyond technical education, the center will provide wraparound services such as on-site childcare, enabling participants to focus on their training without additional burdens. The facility is designed to accommodate up to 90 students, effectively doubling AMPED’s current training capacity.  This project underscores AMPED’s commitment to fostering economic empowerment and equity in West Louisville through education, technology, and community support

Calhoun performed a partial demolition of the existing building and then started on the new construction.  This three-story, 13,000-square-foot facility at 1701 W. Market Street aims to bridge the digital divide by offering free, in-demand technology training programs to low-income residents, including courses in cloud computing, data analysis, and IT repair.  This included steel structures, brick and EIFS over cold formed metal stud exterior walls.
