The seemingly never-ending construction of the Campus Center will end soon. The renovation project started just over a year ago. It began in October 2017 and will now be finished in the coming months.
The $4.51 million project includes many new features that will help students.
In an email interview with Fred Diamond, the facilities and construction director, “The entire interior of the Campus Center has been redone. All walls, floors, ceilings, rooms, technology, lighting, etc. are new. The facility is vibrant, welcoming, functional and the students will find it to be very nice.”
With most of the work already completed, the Campus Center is currently going through a final clean phase and preparations with a shipment of furniture in late May. Along with Diamond, the construction is being completed by the design team of Westberg+White, Horizons Construction and project inspector Gary Glide.
“The modernization of the Campus Center will provide a welcoming place for students to gather, collaborate, study, learn, and experience the collegiate student life environment. We serve the students at Citrus College.” Diamond said.
Once the campus center is completed and opens, the next project is to update and renovate the ED building as a part of the bond measure G that was passed a few years ago.
“I hope that the students gain an appreciation for the college experience and learning environment that the Campus Center provides,” Diamond said.
