Lincoln Educational Services Corporation celebrated the grand opening of its new Houston, Texas campus on February 18, 2026. The 100,000‑square‑foot facility, located at 2000 South Lockwood Drive, offers automotive, welding, electrical, and HVAC training programs, adding a fourth Texas location to the company’s portfolio.
The campus features state‑of‑the‑art classrooms, auto bays, welding booths, and HVAC and electrical labs, reflecting a nearly $13 million investment in infrastructure and equipment.
Lincoln has served the Houston market since 1966, training thousands of students. The new campus is the company’s fourth Texas location, following Grand Prairie, and positions Lincoln to tap a projected 240,000 skilled‑trade job openings in Texas by 2032.
The expansion aligns with Lincoln’s recent financial momentum. In Q1 2025 revenue rose 13.7% to $117.5 million and adjusted EBITDA grew 50% to $27.5 million, while Q2 2025 revenue increased 13.4% to $234.0 million and adjusted EBITDA climbed 65.4% to $21.1 million. The company’s earnings guidance for 2025 reflects confidence in continued demand and operational leverage.
Management emphasized the campus’s role in meeting the region’s workforce needs. President and CEO Scott Shaw noted that the new Houston site will help address the projected shortage of skilled workers, while campus president Cory Hughes highlighted community enthusiasm for the expanded training opportunities.
The opening is expected to strengthen Lincoln’s geographic diversification strategy, which has been a key driver of revenue and margin growth, and to reinforce its position as a leading provider of hands‑on technical education in the United States.
