Construction Opportunity: Veterinary Medical Technology Instructional Barn Project in Mebane, NC

The project involves constructing a 1,600-square-foot instructional barn with an additional 1,200-square-foot loft at the Bill & Nancy Covington Education Center on ACC’s 47-acre farm in Mebane, North Carolina. The barn will feature heavy timber framing with metal siding and roofing, and will include essential facilities such as a veterinary teaching laboratory, office, feed and tack room, restrooms, a large animal treatment area, and animal housing with covered stalls and kennels. Site improvements will encompass the addition of a driveway and parking area, extension of water and electric utilities, and the installation of a sewer/septic system to support the facility. Utilities will be typical for a working barn with a veterinary teaching lab, ensuring the space is fully functional for educational purposes. The project is part of a solicitation issued by Alamance Community College, with a response deadline of August 20, 2024. The contract value is estimated to range between $400,000 and $700,000. This initiative aims to support the new Veterinary Medical Technologist program based at ACC’s Main Campus, enhancing the college’s capacity to provide hands-on veterinary education. The project’s scope includes both the construction of the structure and the necessary site and utility improvements to create a fully operational instructional facility.
