Throughout its 70-year history as a military base, the mission of the Naval Training Center was to provide primary, advanced and specialized training for members of the U.S. Navy and U.S. Naval Reserve. In support of that mission, NTC expanded to 300 buildings with nearly three million square feet of space.

Building 94, built as the Technical Training building was part of a larger group of school buildings built in the 1960s. Building 94 completed in 1969 held 177 classrooms, designed without windows in order to teach secure and sensitive information. The classrooms were state of the art with air conditioning and televisions in each room. Some of the programs taught in building 94 were Basic Electricity and Electronics, and in A-School Programs: Electrician’s Mate; Interior Communications; code practice rooms for Radioman; Storekeeper and Disbursing, In B-School Programs the Commissary and Stewards school, and in C-Programs, Teletype Maintenance and Material Management schools.

The end of the Cold War led to military downsizing and the need to close surplus bases. In 1993, the Federal Base Realignment and Closure Commission slated NTC for eventual closure. The Navy closed NTC facilities incrementally and all military operations ceased on April 30, 1997.
