FC Conducts Community Forums

Following the passage of Measure J, Fullerton College is embarking on a planning process that will determine the location and sequencing of projects on its campus. As an initial step in this planning, the college is seeking input from the campus community and the community at-large at a series of open forums. In October, architects will present findings and recommendations from the previous open forums. Guests will have an opportunity to ask questions and share their input about proposed building locations and the sequencing of projects. The campus forum will be on Oct. 20 from 1 to 2:30 p.m., and the community forum will be on Oct. 21 from 6 to 8 p.m. Both forums will be in Building 200, Room 224.
