Future students and staff attended the grand opening of the new Alamo Colleges District San Antonio College First Responders Academy facility. The building, built by Gilbane Building Company, is slated to host its first class of students in the spring of 2024.
The ground-up facility is anticipated to serve the growing population of San Antonio, Texas and meet the educational priorities of the surrounding community. The building is situated on the same lot as the previous facility and will continue to train and educate future law enforcement and first responders. The 32,000-square-foot facility encompass a lobby, classrooms, a gym and locker rooms. The training area, located in the back of the building, consists of an armory and a tactical training room, complete with a catwalk that offers a birds-eye view into the training spaces.
The project was part of the 2017 Capital Improvement Bond for Alamo Colleges approved by Bexar County. The bond program included projects throughout the San Antonio area, totaling $450 million. Three academic programs will hold courses at the new facility, two of them full-time.
