This project includes a significant expansion of its Dental Hygiene Program facilities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>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.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>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.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The lobby space between the main entry doors of Building 8000 also will be closed in to become part of the Dental Hygiene suite.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why It\u2019s Happening<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>The work is scheduled to be completed by Fall 2025.<\/p>\n<p>To follow along with updates and for more information about all bond projects, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/austincc.edu\/bond\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">austincc.edu\/bond<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first phase of the 2022 General Obligation Bond projects at the Austin Community College District (ACC) Eastview Campus is in the construction phase.
