  • 06/25/19

BENTONVILLE, AR – For NorthWest Arkansas Community College (NWACC) students living in Fayetteville, Springdale, and other towns within Washington County, taking classes is going to get even more convenient. 

The college is building a new Washington County facility in Springdale, AR. The facility will house the courses and services that are currently offered at its smaller Washington County, Farmington, and Jones Center locations. The college plans to have the new building completed in October, and open to students for the Spring 2020 semester.

The facility will offer courses in general education, nursing, health information management, and emergency medical response and house NWACC’s High School Relations which oversees the early college experience program. The new building is designed to initially accommodate up to 2,000 students, with the 20-acre site having space for future expansion.

  • Rethinking K-12 Schools as a Continuous Learning Experience

    Most students move through three or more separate facilities during their K-12 journey, yet the built environments they encounter at each stage have traditionally been designed in isolation, with little continuity in spatial language, learning philosophy, or physical resources. Each new school is a reset with different layouts, learning models, expectations, and ways of moving through a building. The next generation of school design is making the case that the first day of kindergarten and the last day of high school can and should feel connected through common support systems and infrastructure in the physical environment.
