University of Arkansas Community College at Batesville
community college in Arkansas, United States
The University of Arkansas Community College at Batesville (UACCB) is a public community college in Batesville, Arkansas.
History
The University of Arkansas Community College at Batesville (UACCB) was originally opened in September 1975 as Gateway Vocational Technical School, designed to provide vocational training to the area. In 1991, the facility was organized as Gateway Technical College, offering courses in electrician and mechanical fields. In 1997, Gateway merged with the University of Arkansas system, and a few months later renamed it as the University of Arkansas Community College at Batesville with the passage of a county sales tax in March 1998. UACCB offered both vocational courses as well as courses towards associate degrees and college courses toward "core" requirements at four-year schools.
In the years since its reorganization, UACCB has undergone several campus renovations. The first major renovation, completed in 1999, added an 11,000-square-foot (1,000 m2) Arts and Sciences building, as well as various landscaping and parking additions. The next phase of construction, completed in 2001, added a 37,000-square-foot (3,400 m2) auditorium and conference facility named Independence Hall (after Independence County, of which Batesville is the county seat). In 2002, the college acquired adjacent 24 acres (97,000 m2) of unimproved land and constructed a 14,000-square-foot (1,300 m2) Physical Plant.

Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as community college in Arkansas, United States. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 17, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7895070. Authority coordinates are 35.793, -91.617. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1975, 1991, 1997 and 1998.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
