Lone Star College-CyFair dedicates two new facilities

Lone Star College-CyFair dedicated two new facilities, the Center for Academic and Student Affairs and a Health Science Center expansion, on the school’s Barker Cypress campus on Nov. 29.

Students and employees joined Audre Levy, president, as she cut the ribbon at the Health Science Center and CASA morning dedication celebrations. Then Lone Star College System Chancellor Richard Carpenter, the board of trustees and other college presidents and officials, as well as community partners and members, attended an official afternoon dedication that included a video of student testimonials, several student skits, a reception and building tours.

“The two facilities we’re dedicating represent investments in our students’ future," Carpenter said in a press release. "They also represent tangible investments in the future of our community. Whether it be in the science or health professions or general education, the results will be the same. Together were changing lives for the better. Together were opening doors to brighter futures.”

According to the release, The Center for Academic and Student Affairs is a three-story 138,000-square-foot instructional and student services facility. It is the largest building on the Barker Cypress campus and features general purpose classrooms and computer labs; a 100-person, tiered lecture hall; and faculty and staff work/conference/meeting spaces and administrative offices suites. It also houses student services from admissions, registration and enrollment to counseling, advising, financial aid and more.

The Health Science Center is a two-story 57,000-square-foot addition to the existing Health Science building. This new space, according to the press release, has added instructional classrooms; a variety of labs; faculty and staff work spaces and offices as well as several large spacious open areas and balcony areas, including one with a view of the college’s core and lake areas.
