What: In a ceremonial groundbreaking, Los Angeles City College (LACC)
will unveil the first phase of a comprehensive campus re-design
and provide details for a new $18 million Student Admission
Center, the first of several projects to be funded by
Proposition A, the $1.2 billion bond measure Los Angeles voters
overwhelmingly approved in April 2001. The Student Admissions
Center will consolidate the admissions offices into one
building, making it easier for students to enroll at LACC. The
Student Admissions Center will be the first sustainable "green"
building at LACC.

As part of LACC's $147 million Proposition A-funded renovation,
the college will also announce plans for a wide range of new
buildings including the new Student Admissions Center, a new
Math, Science and Technology Building and a new Health Education
building and Stadium facilities.
