Health, Fitness and Athletic Complex Completed in February 2010, our new Health, Fitness and Athletic Complex fulfilled a need that had been in existence for over 20 years. It replaced a rented warehouse one and a half miles from campus that held activities such as weight training and aerobics classes. The new athletic complex is an 89,500 square-foot structure that comes with a 3-court gym suitable for basketball and volleyball, as well as a fitness room, jogging track, five classrooms, a training room, locker rooms and offices. We designed the facility according to the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED Silver rating standards. Green features include: ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Locally sourced materials with high recycled content A “cool roof” to reduce cooling needs Water efficient low flow plumbing fixtures On-site thermal storage system Diversion of more than 90 percent of the construction waste from landfills Family and Consumer Studies Building Designed to achieve a LEED Platinum rating, the new Family and Consumer Studies Building will be a three-story learning facility that consists of: ■ ■ Eight lecture classrooms with distance learning capabilities State-of-the-art prepping and cooking facilities ■ ■ Specialty food service laboratories Dining presentation classroom This new facility will incorporate a variety of sustainability and energy efficiency strategies including natural lighting throughout the facility, high efficiency lighting, waterless urinals and low flow toilets, solar-cell operated faucets, drip irrigation and a highly efficient heating and ventilation system. Other Mission College projects include a new student services center, a new Media Arts Center, a new campus Sheriff’s Station, and a new plant facilities building. 22
Renewable Energy Mission College is capitalizing on our location in sunny California: We have committed to photovoltaic power for onsite energy generation. Producing energy from clean renewable resources on campus helps reduce our dependency on fossil fuels and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We constructed a 178 kW solar photovoltaic system on the rooftop of Parking Structure A in 2007. The solar farm generates enough electricity to power almost 200 homes. The array has 1,128 PV panels and covers an area of approximately 16,900 square feet. We aim to acquire 40% of our electrical energy from clean renewable sources. We will continuously evaluate the latest opportunities, technologies, and applications to promote cleaner sources of on-campus electricity generation. 23
