Overview
The development of the Master & Strategic Plan is a collaborative process that drives key decision-making for the college over a seven-year period. From the beginning, the planning process incorporates stakeholder input to develop a plan that adequately reflects the pressing needs of the college’s dynamic service area. This concerted approach allows the college to serve more students, build stronger partnerships, and make more of a lasting impact on the communities served.
Stakeholders involved throughout the planning process include students, employees, the college’s Academic Governance Strategic (AGS) Planning Council, industry experts, community leaders, and elected officials. Through combined stakeholder input and a variety of extensive market studies, college leadership developed a comprehensive plan that represents the college’s vibrant and fast-growing community, while incorporating key elements to ensure relevance and competitiveness as a higher education institution.
Destination 2030
Known as Destination 2030, the Master Plan is a comprehensive outlook for all college facilities and programming,
and the accompanying Strategic Goals focus on objectives and stretch goals for future
initiatives. Both plans work together to deliver a seven-year roadmap for the college.
Phase I
Most Phase I projects are complete, with the remaining projects scheduled for completion
in 2027.
Phase I Breakdown
- Plano Campus Renovation
- Districtwide Safety and Security Enhancements
- Courtyard Center Workforce Enhancements and Collin Higher Education Center Security Updates
- Frisco Campus New Health Sciences Building
- Wylie Campus New Workforce Building
Phases II and III
Phases II and III of Destination 2030 identify proposed facility expansions, new campuses, and improvements intended to address enrollment growth and workforce needs throughout Collin County.
A $600 million bond proposition to fund these projects was presented to voters on November 3, 2026, but was not approved.
The college will continue evaluating its long-term facility needs and priorities while maximizing existing resources. Project priorities and implementation timelines may be adjusted as part of that process.
