Trane Technologies celebrated the launch of its new Trane Advanced Technology Training Center (ATTC), a state-of-the-art facility designed to shape the future of the commercial HVAC technician workforce, the company said. The 45,000‑square‑foot facility — the largest and most technologically advanced of its kind in the world — is located at the company’s North America headquarters in Davidson, N.C.
“The launch of the ATTC represents an important investment in the future of our industry,” said Holly Paeper, president, commercial HVAC Americas, Trane Technologies. “As building systems become more connected, more efficient and more sophisticated, the expertise required to service them continues to grow. This center empowers Trane’s technician network — the largest and most experienced in the world — to support these next‑generation systems with confidence.”
With capacity for up to 4,500 students per year and over 100,000 annual training hours, the ATTC provides immersive, hands‑on experiences that equip technicians with the necessary skills to commission, maintain, repair and optimize increasingly complex climate control systems essential to ensuring optimal performance, delivering industry-leading levels of uptime and reliability, and protecting customers’ investments in sustainable buildings and mission‑critical environments.
The ATTC offers multiple learning pathways that combine in‑person laboratory instruction with complementary e‑learning modules. This hybrid approach expands access to training nationwide, ensuring technicians gain real‑world, applied experience with the latest technologies.
The launch of the ATTC builds on several years of strategic investments at Trane Technologies’ North America headquarters. In 2024 and 2025, the company invested more than $50 million in the ATTC as well as an engineering and R&D lab for compressor development testing and full-scale chiller performance evaluation across a wide range of operating conditions.
The ATTC also expands on Trane Technologies’ technician training programs in La Crosse, Wis. and St. Paul, Minn., offering technicians across the country increased access to hands-on, industry-leading development opportunities.
