Dallas College 2019 Bond: Phase 2

Downtown Dallas Project

As Dallas College completes Phase I of its 2019 Bond Program, we now enter a new phase. 

The centerpiece is a maj​or downtown project.

Dallas College will be seeking real-time information directly from the vendor community regarding applicable industry standards, best practices, potential performance measures, cost structures or pricing methodologies, and feedback on innovative items.
