Along with the myriad training and educational programs that will be available there for craftworkers, contractors, designers and other building professionals, the new campus "offers a blueprint for growth," said IMI Co-chair John J. Flynn, BAC president. "We made a significant investment in the future of the industry."
The IMI is funded by BAC and the signatory contractors who employ them. The oldest continuous union in North America, BAC represents all trowel trades craftworkers: brick, block, stone, marble, tile, terrazzo, plaster, concrete and restoration.
All BAC crafts will be taught at the center, and courses will be offered for all levels of BAC members, from pre-job apprentices to www.masonrymagazine.com
