Alvin Community College will host a grand opening ceremony for a new campus location in Manvel in late April, according to a March 31 news release from the college.

The gist

The new campus—named ACC West—is located at the Manvel Mansion and features lab space for digital technology, biotechnology and allied health programs. It also contains a virtual reality arena, open collaboration space and state-of-the-art classrooms, according to the release.

ACC West will also house new programs, including:
  • Emergency medical services
  • Critical care paramedic
  • Corporate college
  • Patient care technician
The new campus will also house existing programs, such as biotechnology, and drafting and design engineering technology, among other programs, according to the release.

The new location comes after ACC’s board of regents signed a lease agreement in October 2023, as previously reported by Community Impact.
