FACILITIES MASTERPLAN – PHASE 1 GOALS

Download Presentation Here

 


“Laney opened its doors in its current location in 1970, and experienced much deferred maintenance for over 30 years. In addition to maintenance issues, the college aesthetic is outdated in that it was originally designed to have an inward focus for both security reasons and instructional practices of the time. In order to create a more modern aesthetic the Laney College Community expressed an interest in redesigning the campus to have more of an outward focus or welcoming atmosphere.”

 

MAJOR COLLEGE FACILITIES GOALS
•• Modernize the Library
•• Modernize the Theater and Music Department to create a Performing Arts Complex
•• Modernize the Infrastructure
•• Modernize the Locker rooms
•• Continue Reforestation efforts to enhance the College Natural Surroundings
•• Expand Parking Facilities
•• Design and Build a One-Stop Student Services Center
•• Design and Program a New Science and Technology Building
•• Design and Build a Teaching and Learning Center
•• Markedly Improve Facilities for all Career Technical Education Programs
•• Design and Build a larger Technology Center
