MSJC Constructing New Buildings, Campus In Temecula

TEMECULA, CA — Mt. San Jacinto College is embarking on an ambitious building spree, including a new Temecula Valley campus, STEM (Science, Engineering, Technology and Math) buildings, a student center and a 5,000-seat stadium, the Press-Enterprise reported.

The plans, unveiled earlier this month, also include the renovation of two five-story office buildings in Temecula that the college bought in 2016.

Altogether, the college expects to spend $100 million on its new Temecula Valley campus, which will include 22 classrooms, faculty offices, a bookstore, cafeteria, health center and learning resource center.

The STEM buildings, on the San Jacinto and Menifee Valley campuses, will cost $49 and $53 million each, serving disciplines like astronomy, biology, chemistry, microbiology and physics with lab space and faculty offices.

Construction on the multi-use stadium on the Menifee campus is expected to be completed by summer 2022, according to the Press-Enterprise.
