Join the Conversation on Campus Improvements

SMCCCD has released its 2025 Facilities Master Plan Amendment (FMPA) for public review, outlining priorities such as student housing, modernization of pre-1970s buildings, sustainability and safety improvements. The District is also hosting community forums at each college (in person and via Zoom) to share updates and gather feedback. Learn more and find Zoom links in the  District’s Press Release.
 

Great California ShakeOut, October 14

On Tuesday, October 14, at 10:14 a.m., all SMCCCD campuses will join millions of Californians in the Great California ShakeOut, our annual earthquake drill. The exercise combines Drop, Cover and Hold On with an evacuation to designated assembly areas. This is our chance to practice staying safe and responding together.
