Title

Norco College Center for Human Performance and Kinesiology Building

Description

The proposed project site is located at 2001 Third Street in the City of Norco (City), in the northwestern portion of Riverside County, near a tri-county meeting point with Los Angeles and San Bernardino Counties. The proposed project site is located on the existing Norco College campus. More specifically, the proposed project site is located on the western portion of the campus, east of the Soccer Field, and west of West End Drive. The proposed project would involve the construction of the Center for Human Performance and Kinesiology Building (building), a 56,284 gross square feet, two-story building, which would support Norco College’s physical education program. The building would include one classroom laboratory, office space, a conference room, a lounge, and athletic space. The athletics space would include a multi-use gymnasium with retractable seating for 500, a weight room, a training room, a cardio and wellness studio, exercise studios, storage space, a laundry room, student locker rooms, and faculty changing rooms. Landscaped areas would be provided along the perimeter of the building and would include drought-tolerant landscaping. The existing row of trees located at the eastern perimeter of the site would remain in place. The project site would provide vehicle access for maintenance vehicles only. A paved walking path that could also be used by service vehicles would be constructed to connect the existing roundabout located on West End Drive to the new building. Bollards would be placed at the connection point with West End Drive to prevent access by vehicles other than maintenance vehicles. Service vehicles would also be able to access the building from the upper quad area north of the new building. No parking spaces would be available within the project site boundary. Parking for students and faculty would continue to be available in Parking Lot D. Once operational, the new CHP+K Building would provide students a comprehensive physical education program. The proposed project would result in the generation of approximately 500 to 1,000 new students and 6 new full-time employees. Four full-time certified personnel will be hired to teach the additional physical education courses. Two classified personnel (school employees who do not need certification or licensure to be qualified for employment) will also be hired to support the expanded programs: one administrative assistant and one trainer. The building would operate year-round and would typically be open from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Similar to many other buildings on campus, the CHP+K Building may occasionally be open after hours throughout the year (e.g., hosting weekend events, home games). The building would host approximately 20–25 home games per year with a maximum of 500 attendees, which could occur on weekday evenings and weekends. The project would become operational in July 2027.
