Descriptive Summary
Hartnell College operates at three sites: Main Campus, Alisal Campus, and King City
Education Center, as well as satellite sites in South County.
Through planning and coordinated development activities, the Hartnell Community College
District plans, builds, maintains, and upgrades or replaces its physical resources to support its
programs and services. The 2008-2011 Educational and Facilities Master Plan (III.B.1)
ensures the link between physical resource planning and institutional planning. Each of the
goals within the Five-Year Construction Plan (III.B.2) has physical resource implications that
are connected to meet the expectations and needs of students, faculty, staff and community.
Hartnell is committed to enhancing its visibility, attractiveness, and reputation for quality by
making physical resource development a key priority. The intention is to fully implement the
District‘s Five-Year Construction Plan, which is currently on track, according to its
anticipated timeline (III.B.2). Several Construction Plan projects have been completed,
including the resurfacing of our track. The Technical Training Building project broke ground
on November 15, 2012. Currently, the planned PE Field House is under construction.
The Construction Plan integrates physical planning by a) determining the programs, courses,
and co-curricular activities needed to provide students with a full college experience; and b)
to identify the needed physical facilities.
Hartnell used institutional goals to create the list of improvements now funded as a result of
Measure H. The Capital Construction Plan (III.B.2) was prioritized and subcommittees were
formed to provide leadership for these building projects. All committees include
representatives from administration, faculty, staff, students and the community to assure all
needs are voiced and reviewed.
