Applied Technology Building

 

San Bernardino Valley College celebrated a century of innovation with the grand opening of its cutting-edge Applied Technology Building—a 114,897-square-foot, $101.1 million facility designed for the future of education and sustainability. With LEED Platinum certification within reach, this milestone project sets a new standard for eco-friendly learning environments.

SBVC President Dr. Gilbert Contreras shared, “This building isn’t just a building; it’s a promise. A promise to invest in our students, our workforce, and the future of San Bernardino.”

The new Applied Technology Building at San Bernardino Valley College will serve as a state-of-the-art hub for Career Technical Education (CTE), offering advanced hands-on training in automotive technology (including traditional, hybrid, and electric vehicles), solar energy, industrial automation, HVAC, and additional high-demand fields. Reflecting the college’s commitment to local workforce development, 54% of the workforce used to construct the facility was local talent, contributing to regional economic growth. This transformative project was made possible through voter-approved Measure CC funds, as well as $33.7 million in state funding to support SBVC students.
