College Master Plan
College Master Plan
Windows Media Video, 8min.
Joliet Junior College is creating a new master plan. Every five years, the Illinois
Community College Board requires each institution to update its master plan.
The nation's first public community college is committed to being a leader in teaching
and learning, while providing programs and training to address critical job shortages.
The college's master plan Steering Committee has worked diligently since January 2007 to assess
JJC's physical learning environment and create a vision for the future of the college.
Throughout the process, the college has collaborated with Legat Architects to assess
space and facility needs to design a master plan that encompasses 750,000 square
feet of facilities and 463 acres of land. The college community has been a vital
part of the process providing valuable feedback that has helped JJC create the consensus
plan that was presented to the Board of Trustees in March.
The new master plan will be referenced and updated as the college continues to build
on its more than 100 years of tradition and excellence in education.
Take a look at what changes can be expected to come our way by downloading one of these documents:
What's New
Joliet Junior College will look radically different in as little as three years.
Plans to make the first sweeping physical changes to the college since 1974 will now become a reality
since the JJC Board of Trustees unanimously approved the master plan at their April 8, 2008 meeting.
The Joliet Junior College Board of Trustees approved funding options that will dramatically alter
the look of the college while enhancing and providing new services to students and the community.
JJC Embarks on Design of New Facilities Beginning With Campus Center
Joliet Junior College has begun the planning process for the design of future facilities on campus
as outlined in the college's Master Plan, beginning with a new campus center.
The Board of Trustees at their June 10 meeting approved the architectural contract for Illinois-based
Legat Architects to complete the first phase of the college's master plan.
Joliet Junior College learned last week that Standard and Poor's (S&P) has rated its
Series 2008 $30 Million General Obligation alternative revenue source bonds AA. The college
will sell these bonds later this fall to fund projects benefiting students, including the
college's new campus center. The bonds will be paid back with revenue generated by its recent
capital assessment fees increase.
