Veterans Center

RFQ Proposals now being accepted: Signature exterior sculpture for main entrance

Receiving continued investments from the 87^th Texas Legislature, Northeast Lakeview College (NLC) will be the next site for a new Veterans Center within the Alamo Colleges District (ACD). Awarded $7.7 million for a new Veterans Center, the funds are part of the State of Texas appropriations provided to the Alamo Colleges for the 2022-2023 biennium

Funds will be used to construct a stand-alone building dedicated to providing services to active and retired military and their families will provide a “one-stop” location offering a convenient central place for them to have direct access to academic and non-academic services

Veterans Center Building Information

At approximately 11,000 sq. feet, the building is currently in the design phase of site analysis, programming, construction cost analysis, and value engineering. Building renderings will be shared when available.
