New Mt. San Jacinto College Temecula Campus Allows County Access
By: Lisa Brown
Mt. San Jacinto College’s (MSJC) Temecula Valley Campus is now complete, marking the first permanent campus for higher education in the city. The 350,000-square-foot facility will enable MSJC to expand access to the residents of Southwest Riverside County and the surrounding communities.
MSJC is part of California’s 116 community college system. MSJC trains local residents for jobs and prepares students to earn associate degrees and transfer to four-year universities. The new campus located at 41888 Motor Car Pkwy. addresses shortages in classroom space across the district.
C.W. Driver Companies was the general contractor. The $60 million project consisted of a transformation of two five-story office buildings into a new 27-acre campus equal in size to MSJC’s Menifee Valley Campus which serves more than 15,000 students. Previously owned by Abbott Laboratories and built in 2008, the two commercial buildings were seismically retrofitted to meet DSA requirements during the first phase of construction.
