Facilities




Quad and South Entrance of the Tech Center


The facilities of Grossmont College are situated across 135 acres. At its inception, the campus was planned to accommodate an enrollment of 2,500 daytime students. The first incarnation of the completed campus was expected to hold 4,800 students. On October 18, 1965, a bond for $3.5 million was approved by area voters. This made it possible to complete the college's initial master plan. By September 25, 1967, the new facilities were completed. Since that time, student enrollment increased dramatically and created the need for new and remodeled campus facilities.


In recent years, the college has undergone major improvements of its facilities including:







  • 2003 Library (new)

  • 2004 Technology Center (new and remodeled old library)
