The Santa Clarita Community College District Board of Trustees will hold a special meeting Wednesday, Feb. 28, at 2 p.m.

The Board will consider an amendment to the purchase agreement of a 30,000 square foot building to use as an Advanced Technology Center.

Background:
In May 2023 the Board of Trustees of Santa Clarita Community College District (District), together with the assistance of Special Counsel for the District, approved a Purchase and Sales Agreement (PSA) with Intertex Companies (Intertex) concerning the build-to-suit construction and acquisition of a building to be used as the Districts Advanced Technology Center (ATC) facility. At the May 2023 Board of Trustees meeting staff informed the Board that project costs were likely to increase because at that time the ATC facility was only in its conceptual design phase and did not include instructional programming criteria that would be implemented as a Tenant Improvement (TI) after this PSA was successfully completed. The District does not pay the purchase price until the ATC facility meets the Department of the State Architects and Districts specification requirements.

The original proposed purchase price was $19,825,000. The proposed amendment would now bring the purchase price to
$22,025,000; this does not, however, include DSA and regulatory inspection costs.

The full agenda can be found [here].

The meeting will take place in the University Center, Room 301 on the Valencia campus of College of the Canyons, located at 26455 Rockwell Canyon Road.

This will be an in-person meeting with the ability to view the meeting virtually.
