The final beam rose into place on a brisk December morning as Collin College marked the topping out of its new Health Sciences Center on Dec. 3. For the Frisco Campus, the ceremony was a visible step toward a major expansion of the region\u2019s healthcare training pipeline.<\/p>\n
Set to open in January 2027, the three-story, 120,000-square-foot Health Sciences Center at 9700 Wade Blvd. will anchor several of the college\u2019s fastest-growing programs. Inside, students will train on advanced simulation equipment, work in new imaging and radiology labs, and prepare for careers across multiple allied health fields.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s Inside The New Facility<\/p>\n
The building\u2019s layout reflects the college\u2019s expanding health sciences catalog. Radiology, imaging, and sonography programs will occupy the first floor. Nursing and physical therapy will take over the second. A third-floor shell will remain unfinished for now, reserved for programs the college expects to launch later as demand grows.<\/p>\n
\u201cGreat progress has been made toward creating this innovative learning environment,\u201d said Dr. Neil Matkin, Collin College district president, in an official statement. \u201cWe can all be proud of contributing to a Health Sciences Center that will offer high-demand programs that align with local workforce needs. It\u2019s a win for our students, for our healthcare partners, and for the community who will benefit from receiving care from well-trained, highly qualified healthcare professionals.\u201d<\/p>\n

Built For The Future<\/p>\n
The $70 million project \u2014 supported by a guaranteed maximum construction price of about $55 million approved in mid-2025 \u2014 brings together a familiar roster of partners. PBK Architects designed the Health Sciences Center, with McCarthy Building Companies, Inc. serving as the builder and AECOM as the Owner\u2019s Representative.<\/p>\n
For McCarthy senior vice president Matthew Schrodel, the project carries personal meaning. A Collin College alumnus, Schrodel said contributing to the campus\u2019s next major facility felt like coming full circle.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe partnership between McCarthy and Collin College has been a phenomenal one,\u201d said Matthew Schrodel, senior vice president and Dallas business unit leader at McCarthy Building Companies, Inc. \u201cAt McCarthy, we take pride in building projects that help our communities thrive, and this project is a testament to Collin College and their commitment to delivering education that aligns with what the community and local workforce needs.\u201d<\/p>\n
Once complete, the center will help ensure that the region\u2019s healthcare workforce grows right along with its population, bringing more trained, homegrown talent to Frisco and beyond.<\/p>\n
