The Lincoln Tech Rowlett project was registered with TDLR in April 2026, and plan review was completed in June 2026. Construction was scheduled to begin in April 2026 with a planned completion date of August 2026. However, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection, so the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record. The scheduled build window of 122 days is longer than the 92-day median for similar renovation projects in Dallas County.
Herbst-Musciano, LLC has three other TDLR-registered projects for Lincoln Technical Institute, totaling $875,000. These include a $275,000 project in Houston and two $300,000 projects in Grand Prairie, both of which are closed. This Rowlett project is significantly larger, reflecting the scale of the new campus facility.
Third-party job listings indicate Lincoln Tech is hiring for the Rowlett location. A LinkedIn post described a Financial Aid Manager role in Rowlett, and other listings mentioned a Lead Facilities Manager for the soon-to-open campus. These postings suggest activity related to the new facility, though the TDLR record remains the authoritative source for construction status.
