Campus Revitalization Project

Welcome to the Campus Revitalization Project (CRP) webpage!

The Campus Revitalization Project—giving new life to the SAC community—includes the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and various campus beautification and construction projects.

This webpage will provide the latest updates and information related to the College's revitalization efforts.

About the CIP

In May of 2017, Bexar County voters approved a general obligation bond and awarded San Antonio College $83 million to make necessary improvements to current buildings and add new facilities. 

In conjunction with various Campus Beautification Projects led by the Office of the Vice President of College Services, the CIP will provide new construction and renovations to existing buildings.
