The $12.3 million project features numerous study areas, an events terrace, and parking renovations. In addition, buildings A and B are being renovated, a $13.4 million project that is expected to be completed in October.
  • San Elijo Campus, Cardiff – renovation of the B100 library building is expected to be completed in fall 2022. The $5.8 million project includes work on about 14,000 square feet, including the library, tutoring spaces and computer labs.

The $58 million project, nearly 40,000 square feet, will consolidate admissions, registration, counseling and financial aid, now scattered throughout the campus, to one location. It will also house a Veterans Center.

Planned MiraCosta projects include $37.4 million for a chemistry and biotech building, $40.4 million for a new gymnasium and kinesiology, health and nutrition studies building, and $24.5 million for anew allied health building.
