New Monument Sign and Campus Entryway Underway for MiraCosta Community College

  • 07/08/19

OCEANSIDE, CA – Construction of a new monument sign and campus entryway for the MiraCosta Community College District's (MCCCD) Community Learning Center in north Oceanside, CA, is underway, following action by the district’s Board of Trustees in awarding a construction contract for the project.

The $1.2 million project is funded through MiraCosta’s capital improvement program, using funds from Measure MM, the $455 million general obligation bond approved by voters in 2016.

The monument sign will be an iconic stand-alone structure intended to provide a clear sense of entry to the campus and improve student and visitor wayfinding on campus.

“The new entry is the first of several significant modernization projects for the Community Learning Center Campus,” says Tom Macias, director of Facilities.
