Universal Technical Institute (UTI) (website) is the country's premier provider of technician training for students seeking a rewarding career in the automotive, diesel, collision repair, motorcycle, and marine industries.
At UTI's 200,000-square-foot Exton, MA facility, one of nine campuses across the country, UTI provides intensive, hands-on training in both automotive and diesel technology for tomorrow’s technicians. In addition to teaching the intricacies of complex automotive systems, UTI also places great importance on instilling a sense of professionalism in every student.
“We want our students to think of themselves as professional ‘technicians,’ not just ‘mechanics,’” said Roy Benner, facilities manager for UTI’s Exton campus. “Their personal appearance and working environment are very important to achieving that mindset. We have a dress code that is strictly enforced at each facility and work hard to make sure the classrooms and shop areas are immaculate.
UCoat It is well-suited for a variety of service types which makes it an effective choice for UTI when preparing to install flooring in any new or improved facility. Besides being the mainstay of automotive service areas, UTI also uses UCoat It in washrooms, classrooms and storage areas.
That was one reason UTI chose UCoat It® epoxy floor coatings for the new Ford Accelerated Credential Training (FACT) and Toyota service areas, as well as the classroom where automatic transmission servicing is taught.
“UTI prides itself on providing hands-on training, so the shop areas are real work environments,” explained Benner. “Cleaners, hydraulic fluids and solvents get spilled, as you would expect. We wanted a floor coating that could stand up to this punishment and still look great.”
UTI has trusted UCoat It as their floor coating of choice for several UTI Automotive training facilities as well as their Marine Mechanics Institute in Florida.
