Dozens cheered on the completion of Fresno City College West Fresno Center Thursday morning.
“This 110-thousand square feet is fully dedicated to helping students turn their dreams into college and career realities, acting as a future catalyst for future growth of this valley, the city and West Fresno,” Chancellor, State Center Community College District, Dr. Carole Goldsmith said.
The campus has an academic building that opened in August of 2023 with around 1,000 students and a new advanced transportation building.
That advanced transportation center houses all automotive classes with over 100 students beginning classes earlier this month.
“In comparison to the main campus located at Blackstone and McKinley, this facility is at church and walnut is three times the size,” Instructor coordinator for the Advanced Transportation Center at Fresno City College’s West Fresno Campus, Marty Kamimoto said.
The students who train here get hands-on experience with vehicles from major companies.
