GLENDALE : $18-Million Project at College to Begin
Contractors will break ground at Glendale Community College this week on what college officials say will be one of the biggest construction projects in the history of the state community college system.
About $18 million in state bond funds will be spent to build two multistory buildings--an addition to the campus library that will also house 16 classrooms and a multiuse building with 35 rooms that can be used as classrooms or labs, college officials said.
In addition to the 135,000 square feet of new classroom space, the project also includes a remodeling job on the campus library.
The project, expected to be completed in early 1997, will be built on a vacant strip of land between the library and the administration building, where two single-story classroom buildings built in the 1950s were recently demolished.
The new buildings will relieve campus crowding and eliminate the need for 20 classroom trailers that the college has leased since 1991, officials said.
