Science Modernization Project Underway at IWV Campus

March 17, 2009

Construction of a new and expanded Science Department is underway on the third floor of the main mega building at the Indian Wells Valley campus. Cerro Coso Community College is responding to the needs of regional employers by increasing its math and science programs (life science, physical sciences, earth sciences), including physics. The nearly $6 million project includes new state of the art laboratories, new classrooms, offices and assembly space.
