Cañada College
and District employees, design build partners and community members joined to
celebrate the groundbreaking of Cañada’s new Science & Technology Building
on March 6. Speakers during the program included Board President Holober,
Chancellor Galatolo, President Moore, Classified President Jeanne Stalker and
Academic Senate Vice President Diane Tedone-Goldstone. Following the program
was the ceremonial groundbreaking and a reception where guests had an
opportunity to explore the new building through architect renderings and
virtual reality!
The new Science
& Technology Building will be a three story, 50,000 square foot structure
that will feature modern, flexible classrooms, laboratories and
faculty offices for
Science education. Supporting
the philosophy that learning happens everywhere, the design will feature an indoor/outdoor “learning commons” with an enhanced
plaza, creating a functional outdoor gathering space for the campus community. The new building
will also be LEED Gold certified and Net
Zero Energy-ready to support student academic success and ensure the longevity
of the building for many years to come.
