In 1964, the State Board of Education granted authority to award the Associate in Applied Science Degree and the school name was changed to Wilson County Technical Institute.
This change was made in the entire North Carolina Community College System to enhance the transferability of students to four-year institutions.
Throughout the years since, many buildings have been added and updated to provide more space for additional programs, a student lounge, a bookstore, and more.
The Frank L. Eagles Community Business Center addition to Building G was completed in 2003, adding much needed meeting rooms and classrooms to the College facilities.
Future renovations are currently being planned on both the Herring Avenue and Lee Technology Center campuses.
