The Richfield Training Center is centrally located approximately 20 miles south of downtown Cleveland and 20 miles north of downtown Akron in northern Summit county. The original 8400-sq.-ft. building was renovated in 2001 to include classrooms, lunchroom, and computer lab. The shop is 6450 sq. ft., which includes two full-size work bays, oil storage, parts storage, restrooms with a shower, and a 10-ton overhead crane. Attached is a 16,000-sq.-ft. all-weather training building which can accommodate up to six pieces of equipment simultaneously. This building features carbon monoxide sensors and a large exhaust system. Paving, directional drill, and grader classes can be taught in this building. Located just outside the all-weather building is a permanent concrete forklift testing and training area. The stone base in the crane area insures that CCO training and testing is always available. There is another large stone lot on the upper terrace, which is exclusively used for class A and B CDL training. The remainder of the 42-acre site is used for earth moving, slope work, and trenching. |
