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:
“Perfect present has no existence in our consciousness. As I said years ago in Erewhon, it lives but upon the sufferance of past and future. We are like men standing on a narrow footbridge over a railway. We can watch the future hurrying like an express train towards us, and then hurrying into the past, but in the narrow strip of present we cannot see it. Strange that that which is the most essential to our consciousness should be exactly that of which we are least definitely conscious.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
“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)
