Alamo Colleges ​District Expands Capacity with New Rogers Run Campus

The⁢ alamo Colleges District is significantly expanding its footprint with the acquisition of a 198,000-square-foot office complex located at 10000 rogers Run, a short distance from Northwest ‍Vista College. This marks the first major property acquisition in the collegeS 30-year history and is funded through the $987 million bond approved⁤ by​ voters ⁤in May 2025 – the ‍largest in the district’s ⁣history.

The 14.5-acre Westover Hills property,‍ which includes a building and⁢ parking garage, ⁢is strategically positioned within a growing innovation corridor alongside companies like Frost Bank, the Texas Cryptology Centre, Microsoft,⁣ Valero, and a future ‍Amazon Web Services (AWS) ⁢site.⁣

Northwest ⁢vista ‍College, serving over 22,000 learners, will renovate the complex‍ to accommodate new and expanding programs focused ​on high-demand ⁤career fields. Renovations are slated for‍ completion ⁣by Fall 2027 and will initially house the newly approved ⁣Bachelor of⁤ Applied Technology in Cloud Computing, ‍alongside other related technology programs.

Beyond Northwest vista College programs, the Rogers Run campus will serve​ as a key hub for alamoonline, increasing access​ to flexible online learning options. Programs from San Antonio College, including vital healthcare training like nursing and EMT certification, will also be offered at the location,⁢ extending these ⁤crucial services to the Far‌ West San​ Antonio ⁤community.

“This investment is about creating access to the opportunities that⁣ drive economic mobility, and ensuring our ​learners are‌ ready⁤ to lead in the industries ⁢of tomorrow,” stated Alamo Colleges District Chancellor Dr.Mike Flores. “It’s a bold step forward in our commitment to partnering to end ​poverty through education and training.”

The district anticipates enrollment reaching‌ over 100,000 learners by 2030, and the Rogers ‌Run complex is expected to ⁤play a‍ vital role in​ accommodating this growth ‌and supporting workforce ⁣growth across key sectors like healthcare, manufacturing, engineering, and emerging technologies, alongside ⁤other facilities planned for Port San Antonio, Brooks, and the South Texas Medical Center.
