Paradise Valley Community College opened its newly renovated Building Q in November of 2011 in Phoenix. Designed by SmithGroup, the $10.6 million, 69,600-sf project converted an existing county library building into an academic facility for mathematics with 23 classrooms, faculty offices, and support space. The building houses the college's Center for Teaching and Learning and Continuing Education and the 10,700-sf Arizona Agribusiness and Equine Center Charter School. The construction manager for the project was Jokake Construction.
