NWACC seeks community feedback for college development

BENTONVILLE, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — Northwest Arkansas Community College is seeking feedback from community members on its campus master planning initiative.

According to the press release, the college received a Design Excellence grant through the Walton Family Foundation in April, enabling a comprehensive campus master planning process for the Bentonville campus.

“The Design Excellence grant will allow us to strategically plan for the future and incorporate the values and vision of all community stakeholders as we design our physical spaces with our community needs in mind,” said Elizabeth Anderson, NWACC’s executive director of advancement. “Your valuable input in this survey will support our goal of securing as much community feedback as possible to continue meeting the needs of the Northwest Arkansas community.”

The release states that the college hired Lake Flato, an architecture firm, to assist and guide NWACC.

The plan is divided into three phases:

• Site Discovery and opportunities
• Campus Plan Alternatives and exploration
• Final Campus Plan and implementation

The College said it hopes to wrap up in March 2025.
