Description

This is a classroom at the Minneapolis Technical Training Academy (MTTA). I photographed the facility for the organization's director, Keith Hammond. It folded shortly after opening when the school district canceled their contract with the school.

This was a contract alternative school with a focus on technology. It had SUN terminals with flat panel monitors at every desk. According to the Star Tribune, many vendors were unpaid and withholding taxes for teachers were not paid. The high school was evicted from this facility. (date: 2001-11-12)
