5/8/2008 (Irving, Texas) – The Dallas County Community College District recently awarded the Dallas office of Cadence McShane the construction contract to complete the new 33,278 square foot North Lake College – South Campus Education Center. Located on the northeast corner of Shady Grove and MacArthur in Irving, Texas, the new two-story facility will provide an integrated community atmosphere offering college level courses that address the economic and workforce needs of Irving and the surrounding communities. The College is being constructed with sustainability features to provide energy savings and green building materials, when possible. The campus facility is located on an 11.72-acre site that will provide parking for 225 vehicles. The two-story exterior will be comprised of an artful combination of brick and stone highlighted with generous window lines to provide natural light into the facility. Cadence McShane will complete the 20-classroom facility that also includes three computer labs, a study area, food court area, administrative offices and a community room that will be open to members of the community and civic organizations. The project is scheduled for a December 2008 completion. F&S Partners is the project architect for the new North Lake College – South Campus Education Center facility.
