Project approved a year ago finally will start this summer; College is donating thousands of its library books and resources as it goes digital; will be called the “Center for Learning and Innovation”
Yavapai Community College is beginning another renovation of building “M” on the Verde Campus in Clarkdale. It was last renovated back in 2011-12. Once the newest renovation is completed, which is estimated to be in August 2024, it will be called the “Center for Learning and Innovation.”
The project was apparently approved by the District Governing Board a year ago at the May 2022 budget meeting at a cost of more than $3 million.
According to the May 10, 2023, press release from the College, once completed, the library will be called the “Center for Learning and Innovation.” The College says it will feature modern digital technology used at many higher education institutions across the country. The intent is to “enhance the student experience with more content at the tip of their fingers.” It will also feature modern learning areas, study rooms, student learning support services, and resource departments similar to the College’s Learning Center.
