Bay Area Technology School Opens New Campus in East Oakland
Bay Area Technology School (BayTech) has officially opened the doors to its newly constructed campus at 1445 23rd Ave., thanks in part to the $1 million in additional funding secured with CCSA's assistance. This milestone comes after a difficult chapter. In September 2023, BayTech's co-located facility in Oakland endured a tragic shooting that claimed the life of their beloved security guard. During their time at this location, Bay Tech also experienced 15 lockdowns, creating instability that contributed to declining enrollment. Now BayTech is moving into a new chapter. Their new home provides a safe, stable learning environment for students and is helping to revitalize a cultural hub in East Oakland.
Already, BayTech is seeing an enrollment uptick as East Bay families embrace this fresh start and new home for their community.
