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.
