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:
“A country whose buildings are of wood, can never increase in its improvements to any considerable degree.... Whereas when buildings are of durable materials, every new edifice is an actual and permanent acquisition to the state, adding to its value as well as to its ornament.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
