Asheville–Buncombe Technical Community College

A-B Tech has articulation agreements set up with every public 4-year university in the UNC system, and the school offers direct transfer programs in some of them.

The Asheville–Buncombe Technical Community College main campus is on the former estate of Col. John Kerr, a veteran (Confederate) of the American Civil War.

Located on a hill, south of the Smith-McDowell house, Fernihurst is part of A-B Tech Community College Culinary Arts Program.

The house is the oldest brick building in Buncombe County[7] and is currently a nonprofit museum that is included in the National Register of Historic Places.

A-B Tech announced plans in 2016 to renovate the structure for use as a public event space and College Advancement offices.
