San Diego Community College District

We are more than a third of the way through the San Diego Community

College District’s $1.555 billion Propositions S and N construction bond program. More than $550 million has been expended to date, resulting in the completion of nearly 40 voter-approved projects.

New in 2010In 2010, the District marked the completion of several projects. These include City College’s new Career Technology Center (CTC) and a major renovation of the “P” Building (now called the Health, Exercise Science and Athletics Building); the Mesa College Design Center and nearby transit center; and the Humanities & Arts and Math & Business buildings at Miramar College. These buildings are providing state-of-the-art academic and vocational training environments that are invaluable to students as they transition to four-year campuses and new careers. The status of all active projects is shown on the back page.

Clean Audits for Eight Straight YearsFinancial Performance Audits have been performed as required by state law since the inception of the bond program. Each audit has consistently verified that bond fund expenditures were spent efficiently on the projects approved by San Diego voters. Once again, the SDCCD received Standard & Poor’s highest bond rating of any California community college.

Monitoring activities performed by the C.O.C. include budget reviews, design presentations, and regular reports on program progress. A redesign of the public website was completed this year to enhance transparency. A Program Performance Review will be developed for 2011. A detailed summary of the 2010 activities and meeting materials are available at http://public.sdccdprops-n.com.

As always, your attendance and participation at C.O.C. meetings is welcome and encouraged.

Sincerely,

George W. Hawkins

A Message from the Chair

The Career Technology Center opened for classes for the fall 2010 semester as the

new home of City’s Nursing, Cosmetology and Photography Departments, providing five floors of new classrooms, labs, studios and other space to allow for the expansion of these in-demand programs.

“There is so much more learning happening here,” says Cosmetology Dean Sylvia Leon. “Our students used to have to go to several locations for instruction. Now we’re all under one roof and everything we need is right here.”

Student esthetician Sojeila Cast says the new building is used as “a bragging point” with clients.

“Everything is new and beautiful and state-of-the-art. Our clients feel like they are in a real spa.”

“This is the Harvard of community colleges,” she adds.

Cosmetology Senior Ray Zapata, a Navy veteran and a married father of two, values the extra space. “We love having our own stations. You feel like you’re already in a salon.” Zapata, a former Navy barber, also appreciates CTC’s sustainable features. “The natural lighting makes a huge difference with haircuts and makeup. We can see everything with far greater detail and accuracy.”

The building’s smart design, including sustainable materials like terrazzo flooring, and the nation’s largest vertical solar panel array, led to a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold certification by the US Green Building Council (USGBC).

Cosmetology Professor Sudie Phillips credits the new facility for helping students earn a 100 percent passage rate on their state boards in December. “They were so well-prepared and we received many positive comments from the board as a result.”

Kim Shafer, an Associate Professor of Cosmetology says the new facility is key to developing a highly-trained workforce. “Students trained here will have so many doors to open,” says Shafer. “San Diego voters gave them a golden key.”

Environmental sustainability is an essential goal of the District. Escalating energy costs require that management at all levels focus on the efficient and effective use of resources. The District’s Green Building Policy requires at least five percent of a project’s total energy is to be generated from renewable resources, such as solar energy. Solar installations are now in place on buildings and parking structures throughout the district, including a vertical array on the Career Technology Center parking structure – the largest of its kind in the country.

Data from the California Center for Sustainable Energy shows that the District is generating more renewable energy than any other higher education institution in SDG&E’s service territory. Of the 7.718 megawatts (MW) installed or pending installation under the California Solar Initiative, SDCCD constitutes 2.367 MW of the total. Combined, installations across the District represent the generation of 4,876,129 kilowatt hours (kWh) of renewable energy each year – saving more than 3,500 metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO²) emissions annually. Over the first 20 years of production, this will equate to saving 7.9 million gallons of gasoline CO² emissions.

Let the Sun Shine!Workforce InvestmentSince the inception of the bond program an estimated 6,700 jobs have been created for local builders, professional service providers, and subcontractors representing more than 25 different trades. In 2011, we expect to see another 3,000 jobs generated. These are prevailing wage jobs which, while providing a significant investment into our local workforce, also enable these workers to provide for their families and contribute to the future of education in San Diego.

3D Designs Save Time/DimeBuilding Information Modeling (BIM) is a cutting-edge development in the architecture, engineering, and construction industries allowing architects, engineers, builders, and owners to reference a digitally constructed virtual model of a building. By building in cyberspace before bringing the project to the field, the design and integration process is greatly improved, resulting in better quality buildings at lower cost and reduced project duration. The SDCCD is committed to utilizing BIM to execute the design, construction, and facilities management of its new construction and modernization of existing facilities. In 2010, SDCCD developed BIM standards to define a process and establish requirements, procedures and protocol for the utilization of Building Information Modeling.

The first Propositions S and N projects to be fully integrated in BIM are Miramar College’s Humanities & Arts and Math & Business buildings. BIM allowed the design team to study orientation, optimize efficiencies, and better sequence construction activities. The use of BIM enabled the project team to detect conflicts that could arise during construction and correct them – saving costly construction reworking. The average change order rate for projects designed in BIM is 2.3 percent, compared to 8 percent for projects not designed in BIM. On a $50 million project, this can mean the savings of $2.9 million.
