Gateway Community and Technical College is all about providing convenient access to higher education for the residents of our region. That’s why we are working with many community partners to develop a new campus in downtown Covington. We are pleased that the community has embraced the addition of the Urban Campus in Covington, and we are excited to share the background, current status and future plans for this new endeavor!

If you’re interested in news about the Urban Campus, you’ll always find it here first!

The Urban Campus Master Plan has been completed. In addition, Gateway has unveiled a Six-Year Capital Plan to seek funding of nearly $62.8 million from public and private sources to establish a multiple-facility, comprehensive, signature campus in downtown Covington. The campus will eventually serve over 5,000 students annually and create a ripple effect in the urban core for economic and community development. We continue to meet with business leaders, civic and government leaders, and school officials to further refine and identify the programs and services best suited to students at the Urban Campus. Feel free to contact us with your ideas. We want to hear them.
