College of the Canyons is most pleased to wel-
come you to this ceremony dedicating our new cam-

pus. It heralds what we believe will be an enduring
and ever-growing association with the people of the
Newhall-Saugus-Valencia community who caused this

college to be created.

The Santa Clarita Community College District
was approved by an overwhelming vote nn November
21, 1967. Last January--less than a year ago--dis-

trict voters passed a $4 million construction bond
issue. Preparation of this beautiful 160 acre cam-

pus site began last June.

Erection of temporary buiidings--classrooms,

laboratories and administration quarters--began in
mid-August, and classes started Octo1Jer 5.

While students occupy temporary quarters,work-

ing plans for four permanent buildings have already
been drawn. These four initial permanent structures,
targeted for completion in time for the 1973-1974

school year, will accommodate 2,500 students.

Ultimately, College of the Canyons will be en-
larged to accommodate 5,000 full time students.
