Bond 2008 Project Overview
Many buildings on main campus are more than 40 years old and need new heating and cooling systems, plumbing, roofing, and other upgrades. Classrooms and labs need renovations to increase access and allow multiple uses, alleviate crowding during peak demand times, and provide appropriate instructional technology and equipment.
Lane Community College Bond Measure Project List Summary:
- Upgrade science labs for academic and career training classes, including nursing and emergency medical technicians.
- Improve building access to persons with disabilities.
- Replace 40-year-old leaking roofs, plumbing and electrical systems, air conditioning and heating.
- Bring buildings up to current fire and improve earthquake safety codes, to provide a safe environment for student learning.
