About Peaslee Tech

Peaslee Tech is a combined effort by business and industry, the Economic Development Council of Lawrence and Douglas County, City of Lawrence, Douglas County, and the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce. This initiative was generated out of the fabric of our community after several decades of recognition that Lawrence lacks technical skills training. The facility opens with classes in fall 2015 as does USD 497’s College and Career Center, at the same campus location. Courses on the campus are available for high school and adult students.

Location and Contact Information

Peaslee Tech is located at 2920 Haskell Avenue in Lawrence, Kansas  66046. They can be reached by phone at 785-865-4426 or by email at mhunt@lawrencechamber.com.
