The project is a collaboration between the City of Rochester, Rochester Community and Technical College, Winona State University Rochester and Rochester Public Schools. It originally was slated to be completed and fully operational by fall of 2015, but that was pushed back a year to fall of 2016.

However, the first phase of the project is expected open this fall inside RCTC's Heintz Center at 1926 College View Road East. That section will house programs focused on engineering, residential construction and horticulture, as well as a WSU STEM Village.
