Coastline’s
Westminster Learning Center will feature state-of-the-art classrooms, as well
as a science lab, art facilities, lectures halls, computer rooms, vocational
training facilities and counseling offices.
The
City of Westminster will be constructing a community cultural center to be
housed in the same complex as the Learning Center. The Westminster Cultural
Center will be home to a 419-seat theater and a banquet and conference hall
with an adjoining terrace.
"This
is an exciting opportunity for us to be able to work with the City of
Westminster in a way that will benefit our students and the community,” says
Dr. Ding-Jo Currie, president of Coastline Community College.
The
$9 million project will be funded by Measure C, a voter-approved bond measure
passed in November 2002.
Construction
is scheduled to begin this summer with an expected completion date of fall 2005
for both projects.
The Coast Community College District is the seventh largest community college
district in the nation in credit enrollment, serving 55,000 students each
semester. The district is
comprised of Coastline Community College headquartered in Fountain Valley,
Golden West College in Huntington Beach, Orange Coast College in Costa Mesa,
and KOCE-TV, the district’s public broadcasting station.
