2.2 EXISTING CAMPUS

A permanent home for the culinary program on campus was
envisioned in the Santa Clarita Community Districts’s 2007-2012
Master Plan, and today the College of the Canyons Institute for
Culinary Education (ICUE) is an integral part of the South Commons
and of the campus as a whole. Its 12,000 square feet are organized
around a main dining room, and includes 10,000 square feet of
teaching space, including a wine study lab, a savory/garde-manger
kitchen, a savory kitchen, a demonstration kitchen, a culinary lab
and sweets kitchen. In addition to its academic functions, the ICUE is
also providing student gathering opportunities, as well as study and
academic interaction. The simplicity and transparency of the ICUE’s
“main volume” underline an elegant sophistication that mirror and
enhance the College’s culinary goals and expectations for the
program.

In 2012 37,000 assignable square feet (ASF) (approx.) of Learning
Center space was constructed as an addition to the Library. The
addition was built on the south side of the Library with a separate The Learning Center @ Valencia Campus
entrance to the Learning Center (TLC) on the west side. Portions of
the Library were remodeled in the project.

Completed in 2015, the new Canyons Hall houses administrative
and student services functions. Students can now find in one
location advisement, counseling, financial aid and admissions.
The building includes district data processing, duplicating, mail
distribution, conference rooms and administration offices.

Soon to be built will be a three-level parking structure that replaces
Parking Lot 7 located at the campus corner of Rockwell Canyon
Road and Valencia Boulevard. The structure contains 1,659 student
parking spaces.
