Collin County voters will find one Collin College measure on their Nov. 3 ballot, and early voting on it starts Monday.
Proposition A would let the college borrow $600 million to carry out the second and third phases of Destination 2030, the long-range facilities plan its trustees adopted in 2023.
The first phase, which included a renovation of the Plano Campus, a health sciences building in Frisco and a workforce building in Wylie, is mostly finished, and the college expects the rest of it done in 2027.
The project list
The college's bond materials list six Phase II projects:
- A workforce building at the McKinney Campus
- An academic building at the Wylie Campus, which the college says has grown 78% since fall 2021 and lacks enough lab space for students to finish associate degrees there
- A workforce expansion at the Courtyard Center in Plano, with renovations for information technology, cybersecurity and health care programs
- A second building at the Technical Campus in Allen, adding classrooms and room for automotive and diesel programs
- A workforce building at the Celina Campus, where enrollment has nearly tripled in five years, for health professions, welding, construction management and HVAC
- An aviation academy in McKinney with hangar and simulator space for aircraft mechanic, pilot, avionics and air traffic control training
Phase III has five more:
- An expansion of the Frisco health sciences building, including space for graduate and doctoral programs with a university partner
- More welding and HVAC space in the Wylie workforce building
- A new campus on 104 acres the college owns in Anna
- A workforce building at the Farmersville Campus for transportation, welding and advanced manufacturing programs
- A new campus in eastern Collin County on land the Royse City Economic Development Corporation donated
The college describes the renderings and project details as conceptual and subject to change.
