McCarthy Building Companies broke ground on San Bernardino Valley College’s (California) new Student Services Building. The $94-million project will act as a one-stop resource center for all student needs and is being built as the college celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2026.
The 104,000-square-foot building is being constructed following the demolition of a former liberal arts building. This new three-story building is targeting LEED Platinum and Envision Gold upon completion in spring 2027, aligning with the San Bernardino Community College district’s sustainability goals.
Once complete, the building will house several essential functions for students all under one roof, including student equity and counseling offices, health and wellness services, matriculation and enrollment services, tutoring and collaboration spaces, a “genius bar” directional desk, a veteran’s center, as well as offices and conference spaces.
McCarthy is collaborating with the college and the broader community to expand local jobs and student involvement with the project. Approximately 50% of project workers will be hired locally. Also, inspired by the new construction, a SBVC student has created a collection of hand-drawn sketches that capture the ongoing construction progress.
Project partners include CannonDesign, architect and sustainability consultant; AECOM, bond program manager; SafeWork, construction manager; CSI Electric, electric and Southland Industries, plumbing/mechanical.
