On Nov. 12, 2019, Chattanooga State President Dr. Rebecca Ashford and Hamilton County Schools Superintendent Dr. Bryan Johnson helped demolish a wall to kick-off construction for the world’s first K-14 Global Center for Digital Innovation. As a collaboration between Hamilton County Schools and Chattanooga State Community College, the GCDI is a primary division of our Digital Fabrication Ecosystem of Ideation (entrepreneurship), Creation (digital fabrication), and Production (manufacturing).
