- Del Mar College closing Northwest Center in Calallen on May 14Article by DMC College Relations For the past 15 years, Del Mar College (DMC) has offered dual enrollment, noncredit and credit courses at the Northwest Center in Calallen. The Center was established to provide convenient educational opportunities to residents in that area of Corpus Christi and surrounding communities in northwestern Nueces County and adjacent counties. As a former orthopedic and sports medicine center, the facility was provided to the College by HCA Healthcare through a lease agreement. The lease has now concluded, and the healthcare provider will resume operational control of the building. HCA Healthcare has other plans for the facility. On May 14, the College will close the Northwest Center when classes currently offered at the facility end. Even though the College will no longer operate the Northwest Center, DMC dual enrollment classes will continue at students’ respective high schools. Other students are encouraged to enroll in courses offered at one of the College’s three campuses––Heritage, Windward and Oso Creek. Many courses taught at the Northwest Center prior to closure are also offered at the DMC Center for Economic Development. Registration is currently underway for Summer I and II and Fall 2024 courses. Summer I classes begin Tuesday, May 28. Continuation of students’ educational journey is the College’s paramount concern. DMC officials have communicated with affected students by email and through their advisors about this change. The College is very appreciative of HCA Healthcare and their generous almost cost-free lease that has allowed DMC to provide educational opportunities to residents living in Calallen and the surrounding area. While the Northwest Center is closing, the College maintains strong relationships with HCA Healthcare, the City of Corpus Christi and area high schools, and future partnerships are possible. Del Mar College is committed to prioritizing access to education to everyone living in the communities the institution serves. It’s one of the College’s core values.
