The\u00a0project is expected to serve an additional 5,000 students and will feature the first business incubator in the school\u2019s system.\u00a0The estimated cost for this stage is roughly\u00a0$153 million.<\/p>\n<p>The new development totals 415,000 square feet and comprises the school-to-business incubator, a health sciences simulation center, multimedia art gallery and a culinary arts center with a restaurant operated by ACC faculty, staff and students. In addition, it includes extended space for various ACC programs, such as computer science and information technology, game development, music business performance technology, architectural and engineering computer aided design, radio\/television\/film and visual communication.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>From mall to college campus<\/h2>\n<p>In 2010, ACC commenced the redevelopment of Highland Mall, located off Airport Boulevard, west of Interstate 35 and north of Koenig Lane.
