The 120,000-square-foot center will provide additional space for the college’s current health science programs while creating spaces for new programs, said Mark Smith, provost of the Collin College McKinney campus, in an email.
The project is estimated to cost approximately $70 million and is expected to open in spring 2027.
About the project
The center will open with 90,000 square feet built out, Smith said. The remaining 30,000 square feet will be constructed later for future program expansion.
Established health science programs—including RN nursing, diagnostic medical sonography and physical therapy assistance—will be expanded in the new facility. The facility will also create spaces for new imaging and diagnostic programs that will serve the growing health care sector in northwestern Collin County, Smith said.
The imaging and diagnostic programs are two high-demand programs requested by local hospital CEOs when discussing the new center, he said.
Classes are expected to be offered in the new center in the spring 2027 semester.
Going forward
The college’s board of trustees approved a program management contract and architectural contract for preconstruction activities. The board is expected to vote on authorizing construction in February.
