Campus Improvements
In 2003, voters approved a bond measure for about $150 million, that improved the facilities on campus. A significant portion of these funds were earmarked for the construction of a new building to house the college's art and music departments.
In 2007, many services at PCC had to relocate pending demolition of their previous facilities. These include the college bookstore, Student Affairs, Associated Students, the student business services, the campus police and the offices of the school newspaper, The Courier.
A groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of the new Industrial and Technology building, the new Campus Center, and Bookstore took place in October 2007. The Campus Center and Bookstore opened in August 2009.

Famous quotes containing the word improvements:
“I was interested to see how a pioneer lived on this side of the country. His life is in some respects more adventurous than that of his brother in the West; for he contends with winter as well as the wilderness, and there is a greater interval of time at least between him and the army which is to follow. Here immigration is a tide which may ebb when it has swept away the pines; there it is not a tide, but an inundation, and roads and other improvements come steadily rushing after.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
