Two of Austin Community College District’s (ACC) 2022 General Obligation Bond projects have reached new milestones. Read the latest updates from the Eastview Campus Dental Hygiene Expansion and Round Rock Campus Applied Technology Expansion projects below.
Eastview Campus
ACC is on track to welcome more Dental Hygiene students this fall at the Eastview Campus. Construction of Phase 1 is officially complete, marking a major milestone in the project. Furniture and equipment installation is expected in early August.
Phase 2 is now in its final stages, with building finishes being installed and final mechanical, electrical, and plumbing work underway. The brand-new exterior accessibility ramp is also nearing completion.
The project includes the renovation of 13,850 square feet at the Eastview Campus, Building 8000. The expansion includes the Dental Clinic, which will double the number of dental treatment rooms from 16 to 32, as well as additional classrooms and office spaces. This project is one of the first major construction efforts underway through the College’s 2022 G.O. Bond.
Round Rock Campus
Foundations are now complete for both new buildings at the ACC Round Rock Campus — Buildings 4000 and 5500. Vertical construction is expected to begin in early August.
Despite several weeks of rain in late June and early July, crews completed eight separate concrete pours on both building foundations to meet the safety and quality standards. Next, crews are preparing for the arrival of structural steel, expected around August 1. Once materials are on-site, vertical construction will begin on both buildings.
Additional site work is also underway. Contractors are drilling 25 structural piers to support canopy systems on Building 5500 and to anchor special protection structures for the new construction house sites. These house sites will support hands-on training for students in construction trades programs.
Underground utility work continues across the campus, including trenching for chilled water lines, new electrical connections, and natural gas lines. These utilities will serve the new facilities and support advanced training labs for programs such as construction, HVAC, welding, and more.
These projects are part of ACC’s 2022 G.O. Bond program to expand hands-on training opportunities in high-demand workforce fields. To follow progress and learn more about ACC bond projects, visit austincc.edu/bond.
