SAN BERNARDINO, CA — McCarthy Building Companies (McCarthy) recently broke ground on San Bernardino Valley College’s (SBVC) new $94 million Student Services Building.
The 104,000-square-foot Student Services Building is being constructed following the demolition of a former liberal arts building. This new three-story building is targeting LEED Platinum and Envision Gold upon completion in spring of 2027.
Once complete, the Student Services Building will house several essential functions for students all under one roof, including student equity and counseling offices, health and wellness services, matriculation and enrollment services, tutoring and collaboration spaces, a “genius bar” directional desk, a veteran's center, as well as offices and conference spaces.
“We are excited to partner with San Bernardino Community College District and SBVC by constructing a building that is essential to student life and connection,” said Sarah Carr, Vice President at McCarthy. “The building will provide a modern and consolidated location for supporting student success.”
McCarthy is collaborating with the college and the broader community to expand local jobs and student involvement with the project. Approximately 50 percent of project workers will be hired locally, significantly higher than the average of 20 to 30 percent.
