SAN ANTONIO - Alamo Community College District (ACCD) officials held a ground-breaking ceremony for a new 6-story, 1000-space parking garage on the San Antonio College campus. The parking garage will be adjacent to the new Nursing and Allied Health Complex, a facility that will increase the college's ever growing nursing and allied health programs. Both projects are being designed by San Antonio architecture & engineering firm, O'Connell Robertson.

The parking garage is funded by the $450 million ACCD Bond Issue passed in November 2005. The San Antonio College (SAC) campus will receive $79 million from the bond issue for new facilities, renovations and upgrades to technology and infrastructure.

The groundbreaking ceremony included community leaders, ACCD faculty, staff and students. A brief presentation included comments from SAC President Robert Zeigler, ACCD Chancellor Bruce Leslie, ACCD Board Chair Roberto Zarate, Vice President of 3DI/Foster Gene Rutherford, and Director of ACCD Facilities Operations and Construction Management John Strybos.
