The first phase of the 2022 General Obligation Bond projects at the Austin Community College District (ACC) Eastview Campus is in the construction phase. This project includes a significant expansion of its Dental Hygiene Program facilities.
Phase 1, which focuses on the Dental Hygiene Program in Building 8000, is allocated $8.5 million. The project is being designed by Lawrence Group Architects and constructed by Linbeck Group, LLC.
The expansion will double the number of dental treatment rooms from 16 to 32, and renovate associated clinic spaces to create a modern and efficient learning environment.
The lobby space between the main entry doors of Building 8000 also will be closed in to become part of the Dental Hygiene suite.
First-floor classrooms and the campus administration suite in Building 8000 will also undergo renovations. The construction will cover a total of approximately 13,850 square feet.
Why It’s Happening
By increasing the number of operatories and upgrading the facilities, the College will be able to admit more students and graduate more professionals into the dental hygiene workforce. The state-of-the-art spaces being created will provide students with hands-on experience in a cutting-edge environment, ensuring they are well-prepared for their careers.
The work is scheduled to be completed by Fall 2025.
