Dallas College 2019 Bond: Phase 2

With Phase I of its 2019 Bond Program complete, Dallas College is moving into the next phase of this important work. Phase 2 will focus on the redevelopment of Dallas College El Centro Campus, located at the site of the college’s first campus, which opened in 1966. The reimagined Dallas College El Centro Campus will evolve into a dynamic, future-ready urban higher education environment designed to support academic, workforce and community programming.  

The project’s scope and scale will be shaped by the programs and services offered on-site, creating a flexible campus that can respond to the needs of students, employers, and the community. The campus looks to connect West End Station to the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center and bring together five of Dallas’ most important districts into a cohesive corridor of learning, innovation and economic activity in the heart of Dallas.
