SKY CIP2 Design Build Project
This multi-component project, to be delivered using the design-build delivery method (wherein a design-build contractor is hired to provide the design as well as construction of the project), will continue the process of reinvigorating the facilities of Skyline College. The recently completed Building 6 Student & Community Center, and the Building 7 Science Annex, along with modernizations to existing academic Building 8, Gymnasium Building 3 and the exterior athletic fields/tracks/courts, have begun the evolution to a complete college campus. The new buildings and major improvements to exterior areas of the campus that are planned as part of this Skyline CIP2 Design-Build Project will complete the renaissance.

Building 4
Building 4 will be the new home of the Cosmetology program, the Multi-Cultural Center and Hosting Gallery, college administration and general assignment classrooms. The Cosmetology facilities will provide hair, make-up, and spa training functions and will also provide these services to the public in a facility that will emulate the experience of commercial salon and spa facilities. College administration is moving from its present quarters in the Fine Arts Building (Building 1) to make way for additional fine arts instructional and studio space including Photography and Drawing. The Multi-Cultural Center will provide space to promote interaction among campus communities and promote awareness of campus programs available to them. The general assignment classrooms will be both medium and large forum spaces which are currently in great demand on the campus and will provide the college with more flexibility in course scheduling.

This building will be visually and physically engaging to promote interaction among campus communities and increase awareness of campus programs available to students. The building will serve as a place to host special events, and foster student interaction through formal and informal gatherings. This new building is targeted to receive LEED certification (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), demonstrating Skyline College’s commitment to sustainable building design and construction.

Building 11 Automotive Transmission
Building 11 will allow the Automotive curriculum to expand by providing facilities for training in Automatic Transmission repair. Incorporated in this new building will be 7 service bays, which will simulate operations within a commercial automotive repair facility. The space will allow students to obtain extensive education in the servicing of automatic transmissions.

Campus Exterior
Skyline College’s campus exterior will be revamped to take advantage of the existing forest-like and grassland setting. The new landmark entries at Skyline Boulevard and Sharp Park Road will provide gateways to a lively campus where students and the community will feel inspired to participate in college activities, with gathering spaces acting as centers of concentrated activity and energy. Landscape improvements will create hierarchies to define vehicular and accessible pedestrian circulation routes and manage pedestrian/vehicular interface. Emergency vehicle access will be improved, as well as other safety and security measures. Public transportation, passenger drop-off and pick-up zones, service & delivery zones will be enhanced. Wayfinding signage, exterior lighting and provisions for art will also be part of this project. In addition, the electrical and mechanical infrastructure of the campus will be upgraded.

Status: In Design.
