Document Description
The Merced Community College District (District) is proposing to construct a new Agricultural Science and Industrial Technology building on the campus of Merced College to provide enhanced facilities for its existing agricultural science and industrial technology programs. The project is planned to include plant and animal science wet labs, computer labs, manufacturing and sheet metal fabrication lab with outdoor work areas, faculty and administrative offices, a large conference room, and a large central courtyard for student gathering and activities. The new building, a single-story structure with an area of approximately 29,000 gross square feet, will be located on the north side of University Drive. The total building square footage on the Merced College campus is approximately 535,989 square feet within a developed campus area of approximately 120 acres. Thus, the new building represents a minor increase in campus square footage. Construction of the new project is expected to begin in March 2021 and would be completed and operational by March 2022.
