California-based West Coast University — a vocational college with other operations in three states — plans to move its campus from Dallas to the 2323 North Central building in Richardson’s Telecom Corridor.

The university will put its Texas nursing and health care school in the three-story building that once housed offices for watch and accessories firm Fossil.

‘We’ve been in Dallas since 2012,” Rob Koran, the school’s vice president of facilities, told Richardson’s plan commission members in a recent meeting. “Our current campus has served us well.

“But we want to make an investment for the long haul,” Koran said. “We want to buy a building. We want to make it the best campus we can for our Dallas students.”
