The facility includes public entry and gathering areas, with a generous front lobby and a large allocation of space for common areas throughout the facility.
Science and support labs include custom instructional labs and support/prep areas for biology, chemistry, geology, zoology and physics. The facility is equipped with an exterior pedestrian deck with an observatory for the astronomy program. Allied health spaces include instructional areas for emergency medical technology, health information technology, medical assisting, physical therapy, mental health, vocational and registered nursing and pharmacy technology programs. Allied health spaces are designed to emulate the actual environments students will face after graduation. Faculty areas include separate allied health and science department office suites, faculty offices and a lab supervisor office.
+ Master planning was completed by IBI Group for this district.
“This facility has changed the public’s impression of San Jacinto College and its commitment to the highest quality of programs. Students come here from all over campus to study between classes. Students dress better, come earlier and stay late because of this building. They feel that it was designed for them.”
—Dr. Alexander Okwanna, Dean of Health and Natural Science, San Jacinto College District
