The proposed 66,309 square-foot building, planned for 7.28 acres at 391 Country Club Road, will house hands-on training programs in welding, HVAC, veterinary technology and additional fields still to be announced. College officials say the new facility is designed to accommodate a growing student population and the region\u2019s increasing demand for workforce-ready graduates. The Wylie campus opened in 2020 and has seen steady enrollment growth as Collin County\u2019s population continues to climb.<\/p>\n
According to documents presented to P&Z, the project will be built in two phases, though all 196 required parking spaces \u2014 including six ADA spaces \u2014 will be in place before the building opens.
