Fountain Valley’s Coastline Community College plans to build a $24 million, 60,000-square-foot learning center in Newport Beach.
The facility is set to replace a Coastline learning center in Costa Mesa, according to a report on the Daily Pilot’s Web site.
Coastline has its administrative offices in Fountain Valley and holds classes at learning centers in Costa Mesa, Garden Grove and Westminster.
The school is paying $12.8 million for 3.5 acres at 15th Street and Monrovia Avenue in southwest Newport Beach. The site now is home to office and industrial buildings.
Plans calls for a three-story building with 20 classrooms and three large multipurpose rooms.
Coastline also plans to move its student art gallery in Huntington Beach to the new Newport Beach site.
The center could open in 2012, according to the report.
Money for the project is set to come Measure C, a $370 million bond initiative for the Coast Community College district that voters passed in 2002.
Irvine architectural firm LPA has been hired to design the center.
