FALLBROOK, CA \u2015 In a grand opening ceremony on Monday, June 4, Palomar College officials unveiled the North Education Center, Palomar\u2019s new campus in Fallbrook. Located two miles north of Highway 76 on the east side of I-15, the Interim Village represents the first phase of a campus designed to serve students from Fallbrook, Bonsall and the surrounding communities for years to come.<\/p>\n

The Interim Village consists of a 20,640-square-foot complex of state-of-the-art modular buildings and more than 700 parking spaces. The campus also offers two science labs, a computer lab, seven new classrooms, a learning resource center, a faculty lounge, administration space, and more.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis ceremony serves as a reminder of Palomar\u2019s commitment to extend educational opportunities for all of the communities that we serve,\u201d said Superintendent\/President Dr. Joi Lin Blake. \u201cFrom the initial kernel of a vision to the completion of the project, this has been a team effort and a testament to Palomar\u2019s dedication to providing quality education to all the residents in our vast district.\u201d<\/p>\n

Academically, Palomar will begin by offering 40 courses at its Fallbrook location this summer, ranging from biology and nursing to business and sociology. Of particular note for students interested in transferring to a CSU or UC institution are Palomar\u2019s course clusters, available at the Fallbrook location, that provide a pathway to universities. Students taking classes only at the North Education Center may park there for free.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis beautiful new center is a testament to our commitment to the voters in the district and to the communities we serve here in this region,\u201d said Palomar Community College District Governing Board President Paul McNamara. \u201cAnd this is just the beginning of what is planned here in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n
