Orion Technical College

The first classes were held for six students around the dinner table of the Hamiltons and the first curriculum was focused on passing the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) exam.

To accommodate a growing number of students, classes were moved to a larger building on State Street.

An Aviation Maintenance Technology program was added, with classes being held at the Davenport Municipal Airport in Mt.

In 1990, Hamilton began the Computer-Aided Drafting program offering an Associate of Occupational Studies in 19 months.

The following year, the college moved all classes to their current location at 10111 53rd Street in Davenport, Iowa.

In the summer of 2006, Hamilton Technical College began construction and remodeling of the current buildings.

The West end of the building currently houses the Medical Assisting program as well as the Development Center.
