PAC remodel includes new HVAC units and technology allowing Community College to tailor heating and cooling needs for every performance; several other projects on Prescott Campus and around the District continue
Performing Arts Center.
The extensive renovation on the Performing Arts Center on the Prescott Campus is now complete. After what the Community College describes as “extensive renovation,” one of the last completed projects was adding 14 new HVAC units at a cost of several hundred thousand dollars. New Air Handler units were also installed. With improved technology and increased monitoring ability, these new units will help reduce overall energy consumption on campus. By using the Building Automation System, the Community College will be able to tailor the heating and cooling needs so that the audience will be comfortable for every performance.
Baseball Field Repair on Prescott Campus. The baseball field on the Prescott Campus was extensively damaged by flash flooding in the summer. During September and October, grading, leveling, and sub-base preparation took place at the field. Along with site leveling, new sod was installed in October.
New trail and two walking bridges being built on Prescott Campus.
A new trail is being constructed that will provide an access trail from Sheldon Street to the baseball field along the Prescott west campus boundary, behind the Performing Arts Center and Sculpture Garden. The scope of this work includes a nature trail with two bridges to span the creek that winds through the area. Staff will be spreading rock and decomposed granite on the new trail during the month of January.
The Community College reports that once completed, the project will open up this area for walking while improving visibility to help ensure safety and improve site drainage during flash flooding.
Expanding cafeteria at Career and Technical Education Center at the Prescott airport.

Prescott Valley Center has two marquees installed; work continues on access road; new LED lighting in place.
Construction of the deceleration lane off Glassford Hill Road (southbound) at the Prescott Valley Center is complete. Work continues with the Fain Signature Group to construct the shared access road, eventually connecting to the Prescott Valley Center parking lot. Both marquees are now installed and display general information about Yavapai College and the Prescott Valley Center.
LED parking lot lighting has been installed. It is anticipated that one will see brighter lighting and a 40% reduction in energy consumption over the existing metal halide and high-pressure sodium lights.
Verde Valley Campus has renovation for new Brewing program.
Renovations of Building G, rooms 111 and 118 for the new Brewing program were completed. They included new stainless steel wall treatment and sinks for brewing.
