Palomar College Builds New Health Sciences Facility

Thanks to the slowdown in the construction industry, the new Health Sciences Building at Palomar College is expected to come in under the anticipated $10 million price tag originally estimated for the two-story, 25,000-sf facility. Nursing and dental programs will be consolidated in the new building, which will house labs, both specialized classrooms and five general-use classrooms, and simulator rooms equipped with instructor-controlled mannequins. Completion of construction is expected in June 2010.
