multi-story building is designed to
support the College's Life Sciences,
Biotechnology, Psychology and Nursing
programs. Facilities within the structure
include lecture classrooms/halls, science
labs, computer commons, study rooms
and faculty offices.
Projected cost: $23,150,000
• Life Science Building Remodel
(28,000 sf)-for more flexible space to
support general instruction. Existing labs
(built in 1968) could be remodeled to
support less intensive space for Physical
Science labs and Life Science
Classrooms or serve as lecture classroom
facilities. Existing classrooms and a tiered
auditorium (95 student capacity) would
support general instruction requirements.
Large prep rooms can be converted to
classrooms or learning resource space.
Existing faculty offices would also be
renovated.

sf)-major renovation of the Student
Union (built in 1965) would provide a
larger, more flexible and accessible
activity space, where students can meet
and enhance their learning experiences
outside of the classroom. The project
includes a modernized, space-efficient
kitchen and food service area; meeting
rooms that can be configured with
moveable partitions to serve small or
large audiences; and an improved, energy
efficient HVAC system. A renovated
Student Union would directly support
community meeting and activity needs.
Projected cost: $3,335,968
• Northwest Building (31,000 sf)-this
new multi-story structure would support
Applied Technology programs
(Administration of Justice, Fire Science,
EMT, Law Enforcement, Graphic Arts,

general purpose labs, breakout rooms
and faculty offices.

sf)-a major renovation of this structure
(built in 1969) would provide more
modern flexible space for Electrical
Engineering, Cisco, CAD, General
Technology, Child and Family Studies and
Nutrition programs.
Projected cost: $4,000,000 (includes
$236,527 for technology infrastructure)
• T-3 Building Remodel-includes
remodel and expansion of facilities,
including 13,420 sf of classroom space
for general automotive and corporate
sponsored programs; 6,344 sf for tools
and storage, 1,000 sf for offices, and
29,257 sf of covered lab space. Project
also specifies 21,097 sf of secured
outdoor storage space (from parking),
which would necessitate replacement of
70 parking spaces. Automotive program
supports training for three major
manufacturers.
Projected cost: $4,470,000 (includes
$133,000 for replacement parking
spaces)
• Business and IT Building Renovation
(17,000 sf)---changes to this two-story,
16-classroom building (built in 1965)
would provide more modern and flexible
space for Business and Information
Technology, and general-purpose
instruction. Eight classrooms would be
configured to operate as computer lab
classrooms.
Projected cost: $2,110,000 (includes
$124,761 for technology infrastructure)
The Maricopa Community Colleges will ask voters to approve $951,359,000 in General Obligation Bonds in November 2004 for new classroom construction, renovation, technology, parking, security and land purchases to meet future growth needs. Nearly 85% of the funds will be utilized for construction and renovation of classroom and laboratory space at all ten colleges with funding being almost evenly split between the four quadrants of the county. Every college will receive part of almost $137,000,000 to improve infrastructure, increase energy efficiency and improve technology districtwide. In addition, the Maricopa Community Colleges will purchase land for future college development in the Southwest Phoenix/Laveen area, the Northwest Maricopa County/Surprise/Peoria area and the Southwest Maricopa County/Goodyear/Buckeye area.
• Vogel and Olive Entrances-as GCC
continues to grow, its entrances will
require expansion for more efficient
access. Project includes widening the
Vogel entrance, adding dedicated right
and left turn lanes and median
restrictions to 59th Avenue. Also
included are projects to straighten
Via Gaucho (at 59th Avenue) and
install a signature gateway at the
Vogel/59th Avenue entrance to
enhance identity. Project will be
coordinated with the City of
Glendale.
Projected cost: $886,000
• Fitness and Wellness Building
Remodel (13,500 sf)-faculty and
locker areas on the west side
require remodeling and will be
reconfigured to provide additional
space for growing senior and
adapted PE populations and to
provide better administrative space
utilization for residential faculty,
staff, adjunct faculty and
department storage. Selected
classrooms on the east side require
remodeling, removal of walls and
the installation of a folding room
divider to support a fitness lab,
fitness testing, and
FitnesslWeliness certificate
programs, as well as conventional
lecture instruction.
Projected cost: $700,000
• Parking-add 500 new parking spaces;
cost is estimated at $1 ,900 per space.
Projected cost: $950,000
