Celebrating the start of construction!

We kicked off construction of our new main campus building with a virtual groundbreaking ceremony video. Many members of our campus, college, and communities participated. The ceremony featured a virtual tour of the new building, views of the construction site, information from our design architects, architect of record, and construction team, and a montage of our campus groundbreaking activity!

The ceremony can be viewed on our campus YouTube channel.

Selecting the design architect

Architects from five national firms presented ideas about how our new campus could be designed. Our campus employees, students, and members of the communities we serve were invited to hear the presentations and vote for their favorite. The votes informed the decision of our College selection team. IwamotoScott Architecture of San Francisco was selected to design our new campus.
