    Orangeburg-Calhoun Technical College, officially abbreviated as OCtech, is the campus of the South Carolina Technical College System intended to serve Orangeburg and Calhoun counties. Ground broke for the Orangeburg-Calhoun Technical Education Center on October 25, 1967, and opened on September 16, 1968. This, along with a recommendation by the Orangeburg-Calhoun Area Technical Education Commission and approved by the State Board for Technical and Comprehensive Education, incited a name change in May 1974 to Orangeburg-Calhoun Technical College. An expansion in 1978 added new buildings housing administrative offices, student personnel services and a learning resource center: the Gressette Learning Resource Center, named in honor of Senator L. The 37,000 square foot, $5.2 million facility is the home for Student Services, Career Training and Development, Planning, Development and Research offices, and the president’s office.
