College of Marin Diamond Physical Education Center Modernization Ground Breaking Ceremony

Tuesday, March 11, 2008 1:30 p.m.
Diamond Physical Education Center
700 College Ave. Kentfield, CA
The College of Marin Board of Trustees and Superintendent/President Frances L. White, Ph.D. are hosting a groundbreaking ceremony to celebrate the modernization of the Diamond Physical Education Center. Construction is scheduled to begin by early April. The community is invited to attend free of charge.

The refurbished center will feature the installation of photovoltaic technology, which is expected to provide half of the electrical energy required to run the facility. Construction also will include a new gym floor, new roof, new lighting, new HVAC mechanical systems, renovation of the entire gym, ADA upgrades, solar thermal to heat the pool, and reconfiguration of locker rooms to provide equal space for men and women. The costs of the renovations are estimated at about $15.5 million. Bids for the project will open later this month.

College of Marin is fully accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. College of Marin serves approximately 9000 credit and noncredit students each spring and fall semester.
