Q3 2026 Project Update
July
Architect of Record (AOR), Gensler, with input from the Building User Group, developed the final preliminary plans package, consisting of an exploratory design, including broad sketches of spaces, logistics, and site plans.
As part of the accountability process for projects receiving state funding, the Campus Project Team submitted the preliminary drawings package to the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office (CCCCO) for its review. The State agency confirmed receipt and commenced its evaluation on July 14. Once completed, the package will be forwarded to the Department of Finance for dispensation of the next installment of funding for the next phase of design.
