With the completion of the new Library, the “Temporary Library” was made available for renovation. The Math department was working out of temporary buildings that were set up after the 1994 earthquake. Those buildings will need to be removed to make way for the Liberal Arts – South Building. With this renovated facility all of the Math department is located in one building with additional classroom and lab facilities.

The former offices of the Kinesiology, Dance, Recreation and Athletics departments were in a temporary building installed in 1976. The temporary buildings had numerous maintenance problems and code deficiencies. The college has removed these buildings to create open space on the campus. The project has resulted in a similar amount of offices and has added a conference room and workroom to make a more useable office facility. The offices are on the second floor of the gymnasium complex, where the east bleachers of the stadium used to be located, making better use of the limited ground space on the campus.

The College’s main library, which was damaged in the 1994 Northridge Earthquake, was seismically upgraded, modernized and expanded. The project added more book area, more study space and a large computer lab. Seating for students was more than doubled.

The new addition was seamlessly added to the original building. It features a three-story “floating” study area with computers and study stations. A three-story curtain wall of glass highlights the north face of the building.

Emeritus College, a program designed for lifelong learning, was located in a rented storefront on the first level of a parking garage on 2nd Street. The program long ago outgrew its- former home. The first use of Measure U bond funds was the purchase of a newly constructed four story building further north on 2nd Street. This building gives Emeritus a permanent home with room to accommodate all their programs including a computer room, exercise studios and art classroom. There is also a large multipurpose room on the first floor for lectures, films and productions. The building shell was completed when the college purchased the building and the interior improvements were completed by the college.
