McAfee3 has built a long-term relationship with the nation’s second-largest community college district. Accommodating 146,000 students, DCCCD is comprised of 10 campuses totaling 1,500 acres and four million SF of facilities. McAfee3 designed a 22,000 SF science building on the campus of Eastfield Community College in Mesquite.
