Vision 2015 is rapidly approaching a successful completion! Because of the tremendous continued support from our community, Odessa College has been able to add several incredible buildings to the main OC campus - buildings which are thoroughly equipped with the state-of-the-art technology that our students deserve. Additionally, old buildings have been renovated and remodeled, bringing them not just up-to-code, but also making them special learning places that will encourage and enhance the educational process for many decades to come.
Projects that are a part of the final stages of Vision 2015 include:
- Wilkerson Hall renovations, which were completed January 2015
- Dr. Gregory D. Williams Hall, which now houses Continuing Education, was completed in Fall 2015.
- Spur II construction, which was completed in 2016. The Spur building now houses the OC testing center, book store, business office, instructional deans and dual credit.
- The 2nd and 3rd floors of the Learning Resource Center (LRC) were completely renovated to house the Odessa Career & Technical Early College High School (OC TECHS). which will graduate the first class to complete all four years in that facility next year (2018)
- Part of the first floor of the Health Sciences Building (HSB) was completely remodeled and renovated to provide a new home for the OC Surgical Tech program.
- A second phase of remodeling for the HSB facility is underway, and will provide a new, completely state-of-the-art home for the Odessa College EMT program.

- The Former Sewell Ford dealership on 8th street in Odessa is now undergoing extensive remodeling and renovation, and will soon house the new Sewell Auto Tech complex, which will be the home of Odessa College's reinvigorated Auto/Diesel program
The successful transformation of the Odessa College campus does not stop at the end of 2015. The education and training needs of our community are in a constant state of change. And it is our goal, our responsibility to the community, to stay ahead of those changes in order to provide the very best education and training. Our community deserves to have the very best!
