NorthWest Arkansas Community College to Offer New Location

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 new building is designed to initially accommodate up to 2,000 students, with the 20-acre site having space for future expansion.

  • Designing for Every Mind

    Learning environments have the power to shape not just what students know, but who they become. When a school is designed with genuine empathy—for the full range of ways students think, sense, and engage with the world—it becomes more than a building. It becomes a catalyst for growth, confidence, and belonging. That is the animating idea behind neurodiverse design, and it is one that is transforming how more architects and designers are thinking about school design.
