Madera Community College's Oakhurst Campus Construction Begins
After six to seven years of meticulous planning and renderings, the long-awaited construction of Madera Community College's Oakhurst campus has finally commenced. On October 1, 2021, a significant event took place at the future campus construction site in Oakhurst, California. Representatives from Madera Community College District, local government officials, and community leaders gathered to perform the traditional steel beam signing ceremony.
President of Madera Community College, Angel Reyna, Ed. D., expressed his excitement about the project, stating that the campus is more than just buildings on a hillside. He considers such occasions significant, as they allow colleagues to celebrate together despite challenges in higher education. Reyna believes that the campus represents a realization of a different future for higher education in the community.
During the ceremony, the group, including President Reyna, State Center Community College District Chancellor Carole Goldsmith, and staff from Oakhurst and Madera campuses, gathered to sign the final steel beam for the Madera Community College's Oakhurst campus. Each member signed the steel beam, some leaving personal messages. Many took selfies and videos as a last moment before construction resumed.
Goldsmith expressed a blessing and a hope for the site, students, and community. She remarked that it is amazing to watch the transformation of the rugged mountain into a beautiful campus. The location of the future Madera Community College's Oakhurst campus is just past Ace Hardware in Oakhurst, Maderia County, California.
After signing, the construction crew lifted the steel beam off the ground. Staff and administrators took a tour of the ongoing construction at the Madera Community College's Oakhurst campus. Construction is expected to continue for several years, with the new campus set to welcome students during the spring semester of 2027.
Reyna considers this campus a beacon of hope for the community, serving it for decades to come. He believes that the campus will provide opportunities for growth and development, fostering a sense of unity and collaboration among students, staff, and the wider community.
As construction continues, the Madera Community College's Oakhurst campus is already making a significant impact on the community. It is a testament to the power of perseverance, collaboration, and a shared vision for a brighter future. The campus is more than just a collection of buildings; it is a symbol of hope, progress, and the limitless potential of higher education.
