Other Construction Projects

Veterans Center

Receiving continued investments from the 87th 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

  • 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.

  • The building will increase student support and services. Some of the enhancements include:

    • Increasing Veteran specific orientations, academic and nonacademic programming
    • Enhancing career planning, training, job assistance search, and transitional services
    • Re-establishing a Veteran mentoring program that matches incoming Veterans with current students to support the transition process from military life to academia.
    • Incorporating private meeting spaces to discuss confidential matters such as disability claims, benefits, veteran-specific advocacy and emergency services, and legal services
    • Offering community space to host organizations and other events that support Veterans such as faculty support in the classroom, military culture, and learning styles.
