What is the Armstrong Training Center?
All new 6,000 square foot state of the art training center that opened in February 2023. The training center includes a 30+ person classroom space as well as a hands on learning center commonly referred to as the "playground". Distributors, contractors, Armstrong sales representatives, architects, designers, etc. have all been amazed by the experience of learning in this new dynamic environment about topics ranging from specialty ceilings, suspension systems, mineral fiber, trims/transitions, etc.
