Facilities Planning

The Advanced Technology & Applied Sciences (ATAS) building includes 52,913 GSF, 35,064 ASF, two stories, and is a LEED Gold – Equivalent building. The project also includes a 106,510 GSF tennis center housing eight tennis courts, team rooms, restrooms, a storage room, janitor room, intermediate distribution frame (IDF) room, and electrical room. A connector road and installation of 462 parking stalls is included. There are also six EV charging stations.

This project included development of a 190,000 square foot, lighted parking lot creating 594 additional parking spaces that opened in Spring 2019 and a battery storage system. The current project includes 1.3 megawatt photovoltaic panels supported on parking canopies. The system will interconnect with the local utility grid and integrate with the campus electrical system.

This project will construct a new three-story building of 52,297 ASF, 77,985 GSF and will provide a new, highly integrated space for student services and consolidated and expanded interdisciplinary instructional space. The Gateway Building will house Admissions & Records, Career & Re-entry Center, Community Outreach & Recruitment, Counseling Services, Disabled Students Programs & Services (DSPS) and Learning Disabilities, Extended Opportunity Programs and Services, CARE, CalWORKS and Foster Youth, Financial Aid, Matriculation, Transfer Center, Veterans Benefits and Student Payment Office, Veterans Education and Transition Services, general offices, reading and study rooms, workrooms, storage rooms, meeting rooms, general classrooms and labs. This project will reduce the need for portable buildings and set the stage for the Student Services building renovation in a few years as outlined in the FMP. This Building is currently under construction and scheduled to open in Spring 2024

The project will downsize and replace the existing Science Math building to meet the educational needs of Saddleback College for Math and Information Technology. This project will construct a new building of 32,100 ASF and 49,385 GSF. The new Science Math building will house the Computer Sciences Department computer and cyber security labs; Math Department labs and lecture classrooms; large assembly room; broadcast room (distance education); library study and general collaboration spaces; division office; faculty, staff and adjunct offices; workrooms; storage rooms; meeting rooms; lounge; cyber services; and data processing rooms. The new Science Math building project will create a direct and intuitive connection between the upper campus main quad and the lower campus Parking Lot 10, by replacing the existing bridge and expanding the plaza between the Science Math building and the LRC building.  The construction phase is scheduled to commence in Spring 2023 with anticipated opening in Fall 2025
