The new 25.3-acre Santa Maria Career Technical Education (CTE) Center & Agriculture Farm campus features four CTE workshops, an ag pavilion, livestock barn, and student agricultural fields.

At the workshops, students will earn certifications in various manufacturing fields. The workshops are focused on diesel mechanics, engineering design and environmental engineering, residential and commercial construction, and machining and forming technology programs. Each workshop is just over 4,500 square feet, combining for a total of over 18,000 square feet of technical education teaching space.

The ag pavilion houses a culinary arts kitchen, two flexible classrooms, an office, restrooms, and an outdoor presentation area that can be used by faculty and students, and for special events. This new industrial kitchen will enable students to get hands-on culinary arts experience practicing catering and food prep in a professional setting.

A 16,000-square-foot livestock barn contains a teaching space, covered animal pens, feed storage, animal washing and grooming stations, weighing station, and general animal care areas along with demonstration spaces for training and show exercises.
