The new Cary A. Israel Health Sciences Center at the Collin College’s Central Park campus in McKinney held its first classes Jan. 20 following a ceremonial ribbon cutting, which included the college’s administration and the former president.

The three-story, 125,000-square-foot health sciences facility located on the northeast side of the campus will feature state-of-the-art hospital labs for students in nursing, emergency services, surgical technology, respiratory care and polysomnographic technology sleep disorders programs as well as classrooms and faculty offices.
