The NorthWest Arkansas Community College Campus Master Plan provides a long-range framework for the growth of NWACC’s 130-acre Bentonville campus to meet projected enrollment growth over the next decade. The plan outlines expanded academic facilities, student housing, athletics and arts spaces, and enhanced open areas, with an emphasis on pedestrian connectivity and integration with the surrounding landscape and regional trail system. Its development included a multi-phase planning process with community engagement, incorporating input from students, faculty, staff, trustees, and local stakeholders. The plan was adopted by the NWACC Board of Trustees in March 2025.
