Site work and new construction of a library in Norco, California. Conceptual plans call for the construction of a 71,739-square-foot library; and for site work for a library.

This project proposes to construct a new three-story Library Learning Resource Center and Student Services building at Norco College. The proposed project will expand library and learning resource spaces to meet student needs, and consolidate programs currently housed in the Library, Student Services Building, and College Resource Center. The new facility will also include modern technology and infrastructure that is essential to student success. The proposed Library Learning Resource Center and Student Services building is planned to encompass 71,739 Gross Square Feet (GSF) and consists of 46,252 Assignable Square Feet (ASF). Functional space within the building will include 1,200 ASF of classrooms, 15,887 ASF of faculty/staff office space, 24,955 ASF of library/library support, 940 ASF of audio/visual media space, and 3,270 ASF of other support space. The proposed project will be located on the southwestern edge of the campus core, adjacent to Parking Lot D and C. The existing Student Services building, College Resource Center, and Portables A and B will be demolished as secondary effects of the proposed project. Additionally, the existing Library building will be inactivated for future repurposing as a separate capital construction project.
