Collin College will open more new campuses and facilities this year as a result of continuing growth in Collin County.

The new campus openings in Celina and Farmersville are part of the college’s master plan previously approved by the college’s 校董会. Part of the new master plan includes completing the final phase of Vision 2020, which involved renovations and expansions to existing campuses and facilities.

“These new improvements, which are happening districtwide, will allow the college to run more efficiently and will sustain better systems for our growing student and employee populations,” said Dr. Neil Matkin, district president.

Some of the biggest endeavors of the final phase will be the renovations and expansions at the McKinney Campus (Central Park). The renovations include a replacement parking lot that will be larger and safer with an additional 500 parking spaces; a new welcome center; 增加餐饮服务； 以及牙科卫生诊所的扩建。

Dental hygiene is one of the more popular programs at Collin College, and the expansion of the clinic will help in two ways according to Christine McClellan, director of the Dental Hygiene program.

“首先，扩建将使我们能够接受更多的学生进入这个项目。 We get 80-100 applicants every year, and we have limited spots. This would allow us to increase each class by 50 percent and ensure that graduates have employment opportunities,” McClellan said. “Second, the expansion will provide our students with a cutting-edge learning environment to seamlessly go from the dental hygiene lab to the clinic to the workforce.”

In addition to the McKinney Campus renovations, the Frisco Campus will also receive improvements. 将增加一个额外的停车场和一条新的消防车道。 The loop road around the campus will be completed, and renovations will be done to Alumni Hall, Founders Hall, Heritage Hall, and Lawler Hall.

Other improvements include completing Trane energy upgrades on all existing campuses and new wayfinding (signage) districtwide. Renovations began this spring and are expected to be completed by Spring 2022, according to Chris Eyle, vice president of facilities and construction at Collin College.
