Capital Improvement Project (CIP)

The Saint Artemisia Bowden Building is a 25,000-square-foot, two-story replacement building for the existing facility that accommodates the Business Information Solutions Department, Corporate and Entrepreneurial Training Center, the Microsoft Testing Center for Microsoft Office Specialists and a cyber range. Programming supports the high demand for cybersecurity graduates to fill positions in San Antonio, the nation’s second-largest cyber hub. The building includes classrooms, computer labs, the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance [VITA] Center and staff offices.

Artemisia Bowden, the daughter of emancipated slaves led the institution from 1902 to 1954 and, in 2015, was named a Holy Woman by the Episcopal Church.

The Tourism, Hospitality and Culinary Arts Center of Excellence is a four-story, state-of-the-art facility that is vital in supporting San Antonio’s $15.2 billion tourism, hospitality and culinary industry. This building doubles training capacity meaning more students have access to culinary learning opportunities at a reasonable cost -- four times less than its nearest competitor.

“Artemisia’s,” on the fourth floor, is designed to give guests a fine dining experience and a gorgeous view of downtown. 1898, on the first floor, is a working kitchen and lab for culinary, pastry and hospitality management students.

The extensive renovation of the Clarence Windzell Norris Building began in 2019. The facility was built in 1970 and originally completed with three floors. A fourth floor was added in 1972. The building was named in 1975 in honor of Dr. Clarence W. Norris Sr., then Dean Emeritus. In March 2020, the Alamo Colleges District Board voted to grant President Emeritus status posthumously to Dr. Norris for his 30 years of dedicated service to the college. In addition, the Board voted to rename the Norris Technical Building to the Clarence W. Norris Building, to reflect its current use. It houses the Reading and English departments, Instructional Technology and the Information and Communication Technology department. It is also host to the Learning Lab, Reading Lab, Tutoring and Technology Center (TNT) and the Rose R. Thomas Writing Center.
