"(We) seek to take that romance and represent it in a…three-story building," she said of the new Student Services Building.
Garber pointed out the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Certification level of the new building was "silver", which means it scored 33-38 of 69 points on a construction checklist including such categories as water efficiency, energy and atmosphere and materials and resources.
Though future plans for the current service buildings are not solid, McCaslin said "different groups are working on plans for who will go into those areas", and that some of the buildings will be refurbished.
The Student Services Building project and numerous others around campus are being funded by the Proposition A/AA Construction Bond granted by the Los Angeles Community College District, providing more than $280 million to Pierce.
"For generations to come, this building will be the beginning of a student's life at Pierce," LACCD board member Mona Field said. "It will be the place that they get the help they need to move forward in their professional and personal goals."
