Master Facilities Plan
Capital improvements now underway
Douglas Campus
Sierra Vista Campus
Willcox Center
Benson Center
The Cochise College Governing Board in December 2007 approved a number of capital improvement projects, which the college will initiate in 2008. The initial projects - on both the Douglas and Sierra Vista campuses - are part of the Master Facilities Plan, which was originally developed to modernize substandard facilities, upgrade classroom technology and learning environments, and create space to accommodate growth. Since Cochise County voters rejected a bond proposal to fund the plan, the college has modified it to address inadequate and substandard facilities that have the greatest impact on student learning and life and infrastructure systems that are inefficient or ineffective. The revised plan does not address significant growth and calls on funding sources without imposing a secondary property tax levy.
