FRESNO, CA (KMJ) – The District Office for the State Center Community College District is moving to downtown Fresno.
At its March 6, 2018 Board of Trustees meeting, the SCCCD Board approved the $10,685,000 purchase of a 12-story building located at 1177 Fulton Street.
Pending a successful escrow, the 82,000 sq. ft., historic office building known as the Guarantee Building, will be the new site of the District Office.
The location at the corner of Fulton and Mariposa Streets includes an adjacent 642-stall parking structure.
Currently the District Office is housed in two locations, adjacent to the Fresno City College campus (1525 E Weldon Ave), and on the Clovis Community College Herndon campus (390 W. Fir Ave).
Relocating the District Office into one location will allow the Fresno City College campus to expand for parking and its new science facility, projects funded though Measure C.
This relocation will expand the number of stalls on campus while reducing the number of needed stalls that are currently being utilized by district office employees.
In addition, it will also allow more classes to be held at the Herndon campus and free up parking for students.
Since there are no renovations needed, the District anticipates it will be in the new building by the end of the summer.
