The Center of Excellence and Parking Deck projects are now combined into one project. The advanced planning phase was finished by the design firm and has been sent to the North Carolina State Office of Construction. Once approved by the NC Office of State Construction, the project will be presented to the Board of Trustees in January. ACC expects that the earliest possible time to receive construction documents is December 2020-February 2021. Therefore, ACC has determined that a January-February 2021 bond issuance is most likely at this time.
