Q3 2026 Project Update
July - August
Faculty and staff moved into the finished 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 before the building opened for use at the end of August.
In May of this year, the project was awarded the Engineering Excellence Award by the Structural Engineers Association of Southern California (SEAOSC) for its innovative seismic retrofit to a historic renovation.
On June 9, the Board of Trustees approved a deductive change order that resulted in project savings amounting to approximately $51K as well as the Notice of Completion. The Notice of Completion was later filed with the Orange County Clerk-Recorder, triggering the final steps of financial close-out. Close-out with the State Chancellor’s Office is expected to be completed in the coming months.
A ribbon cutting ceremony took place on August 31 where all Citizens’ Oversight Committee members and the public were invited to attend in celebration of the opening of the building.
