Future Expansion
Pending a referendum on the November 2010 Ballot, the college plans on keeping the current tax rate where it is, where in turn, the college plans on constructing finishing the three-phase project for the Homeland Security Education Center. The planned expansion includes a parking structure as well as a fully modeled streetscape for Police-Fire-EMS-SWAT training. A parking structure on the eastern side of campus is also planned, as the campus is currently over-capacity with its parking spaces, and the campus will be brought to current with its level of support for the students. Once the construction is finished, the BIC will have shed its long-held steel facing and gold-tinted windows to make it a white structure with modern upgrades, the SRC will have an overhaul and facelift, making it look new again, and a new Conference Center, as well as the long-awaited update to the Seaton Computing Center will finally be done.

Famous quotes containing the words future and/or expansion:
“Common sense should tell us that reading is the ultimate weapon—destroying ignorance, poverty and despair before they can destroy us. A nation that doesn’t read much doesn’t know much. And a nation that doesn’t know much is more likely to make poor choices in the home, the marketplace, the jury box and the voting booth...The challenge, therefore, is to convince future generations of children that carrying a book is more rewarding than carrying guns.”
—Jim Trelease (20th century)
“Every expansion of government in business means that government in order to protect itself from the political consequences of its errors and wrongs is driven irresistibly without peace to greater and greater control of the nation’s press and platform. Free speech does not live many hours after free industry and free commerce die.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
