The Learey building houses classes and the administrative offices. This is a two-story building, which measures 125 feet (38 m) by 100 feet (30 m). The entrance area, on the northeast corner, is designed to be an octagon. Learey only has about twelve parking spaces, so most students must park on nearby streets or in the Erwin Technical Center lots. Learey conducts some classes at Tampa's MacDill Air Force Base's New Education Center.

Learey maintains a number of apprenticeship programs, mainly for carpenters, child care workers, diesel technicians, ironworkers, insulation installers, millwrights, pipe trades & air conditioning specialists, sheet metal specialists and trowel trade (concrete) specialists.
