Austin Community College will break ground Tuesday on a Round Rock Campus expansion that will feature new and advanced education and training facilities. The 10 a.m. groundbreaking event is free and open to the public.<\/p>\n

The second phase project will add a 45,000-square-foot general education building and renovation of existing facilities in support of several programs, particularly those for high-demand healthcare careers such as nursing, sonography and surgical technology. The campus capacity will increase from 5,000 to 6,000 students.<\/p>\n

Plans call for the Round Rock campus to feature:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. A 12,000 square-foot ACCelerator learning lab, with more than 140 special-equipped computer stations<\/li>\n
  2. Additional nursing simulation space and sonography patient bays<\/li>\n
  3. 13 additional classrooms<\/li>\n
  4. 25 additional faculty offices<\/li>\n
  5. Expanded and improved student services areas.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \u201cThe Round Rock campus has played an important role in supporting the rapidly growing communities in and around Williamson County,\u201d ACC President\/CEO Richard Rhodes said in a statement. \u201c\u201dThe expanded facilities will help ensure we continue to deliver the early, acceptable opportunities for education and training the region needs and values.\u201d<\/p>\n

    The new building is scheduled to open summer 2018.<\/p>\n
