Pasadena : PCC Seeks Alternative Sites
Pasadena City College administrators, who have abandoned the idea of building an adult vocational center on a vacant Orange Grove Boulevard site in East Pasadena, on Wednesday directed staff members to come up with alternative locales, college President Jack Scott said.
The center, a joint venture of the college, the city and Pasadena Unified School District, is currently housed in McKinley Junior High School, which may be expanded to a middle school this year.
The college’s board of trustees dropped the Orange Grove Boulevard site from consideration after city lawyers determined that part of the site could only be designated as parkland.
“We don’t have another site in mind,” Scott said. “It’s very difficult to find vacant land in Pasadena.”
