Austin Community College (ACC) has issued a solicitation for a designer for a $100 million renovation or replacement project. While the design phase is approved, a construction timeline has not yet been decided.
The project will either renovate the Highland Campus (HLC) Building 5000 or demolish and replace it with a new building. The plan may also encompass additional renovation work to nearby HLC Buildings 1000, 2000 and/or 4000 to support site work.
ACC will incorporate two programs with supporting spaces, equipment and utilities, with the potential for future additions. The first program calls for a health clinic, which will include dedicated areas for clinical, dental, diagnostics and lab services. The college will also incorporate a pharmacy into the building’s layout.
The second program includes the construction of a wellness center as part of the building. Amenities will include a fitness facility, expanded basic need spaces and mental and social services spaces. The project scope features a number of student life engagement spaces.
