Q3 2026 Project Update

September  

Since the previous reporting period, faculty and staff moved into the completed facility ahead of the fall semester. Final moving activities involved the return of all personnel and items to the building from their temporary locations by the second week of August. The remaining furniture, fixtures & equipment items were addressed, including door access control and the delivery and installation of glass paneling in the office areas in August before the building opened for use.

The Notice of Completion was later filed with the County Clerk-Recorder as part of close-out activities, triggering the final steps of close-out including retention release to general contractor, Icon West, in early September.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony took place on August 31 to celebrate the opening of the building where Board of Trustees members and the public were in attendance.

The California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office (CCCCO) close-out process is progressing in a two-step process involving document collection, budget alignment for final submittal to the state agency. Once close-out is achieved, project savings from state funds and Measure J will be reallocated to the Planning (Non Project Specific) for future application to upcoming and existing projects.
