The Butte College Board of Trustees recently authorized the purchase agreement for a new Glenn Center in Orland, near Cortina Drive and Interstate 5, at its September Board of Trustees meeting. The new center will cost $12.4 million and includes a 6.17 acre, 13,700 square foot facility.
“In 1974 Glenn County was annexed into our district and we officially became the Butte-Glenn Community College District. We have operated our Glenn County Center programs out of rented facilities for 46 years. This is a remarkable moment in the college’s history and provides a permanent facility that will allow us to better serve Glenn County residents for decades to come,” said Butte College President Samia Yaqub.
The Glenn Center facility will include five classrooms, a science lab, two computer labs, student lounge, tutoring center, library, along with conference and training rooms, a solar array, and 150 parking spaces. The project is expected to be completed by September, 2022.
