- Share via
The South Orange County Community College Board of Trustees has agreed to spend $12.8 million for design and construction of a Health Sciences building at Saddleback College.
The nursing, paramedic and emergency medical-technician programs would be consolidated at the facility.
Board President Donald P. Wagner said no tax increase or bond measure would be needed to fund the project.
“I’m just ecstatic,” said Saddleback President Dixie Bullock, the college’s former dean of nursing.
Specialized classes now taught off campus because of a lack of space and equipment may move into the new facility, district officials said.
