As part of its long-term expansion, Pierce College has continued its regular facility upgrades. In 2004, the College constructed approximately 20,000 square feet of support buildings and a new 500-space parking lot. A new campus day care center and college access drive were constructed in 2006. In early 2008, the City approved a new Pierce College Master Plan, with long-term plans for the college to eventually expand to a student population of 10,000. Initial campus projects under the Master Plan include a new Health Education/Recreation building (16,000 square feet) that opened in 2008 and a state-of-the-art Arts & Allied Health Sciences Building (62,000 square feet), which was constructed in 2009-2010 and will be open for educational use in Fall, 2010.
