Lone Star buys buildings

Lone Star College-North Harris has purchased two office buildings near the Houston Northwest Medical Center that will be used for the college’s health professions building.
The two entities, which have been working together for more than 23 years, offer a program that enables nursing students to rotate through several different nursing units.
The new facilities, located on FM 1960 West, will include a nursing lab, computer lab, a library and a student study area. The entities also plan a simulation lab.
"This acquisition will give the college an expanded presence in the community and will help us meet the growing need for classroom and lab space to train health professionals -- the strongest and highest in demand of the college's work force programs," LSC-North Harris President Dr. Steve Head said in a statement.
The school expects construction to start in October and be finished in May 2010.
Financial resources for the purchase and renovation come from the 2008 Lone Star College System bond. For more information see www.houstonrealtyadvisors.com or www.houstonrealtyadvisors.net
