Demolition of Building 19 on the Prescott Campus will begin the week of May 13 in preparation for construction of the $15.3 million Center for Learning and innovation
After two years, the renovation of Building “M” on Verde Campus is nearing its final stages. Personnel are expected to begin moving back into the newly refurbished premises throughout June and July, in readiness for the upcoming fall semester. The last renovation of Building “M” took place during the 2011-12 academic year.
The Community College says that the revamped facility will boast state-of-the-art digital technology aimed at enriching the student experience “through accessible content.” Additionally, it will offer contemporary learning spaces, study rooms, and student support services akin to those provided at the current Learning Center.
In a move approved by the Community College District Governing Board, approximately $3.1 million was allocated for the renovation of Building “M” in May 2022. The structure will be rebranded as the “Center for Learning and Innovation.”
Furthermore, the Yavapai Community College District Governing Board approved spending $15.3 million in May 2023 for a more expansive facility, somewhat resembling the Verde Valley Center for Learning and Innovation, on the Prescott Campus. Demolition of Building 19 on the Prescott Campus, where the Center will be located, is scheduled to begin May 13, in preparation for construction.
