Columbia College Public Safety Center Groundbreaking on June 16

Columbia, CA....The public is invited to attend the groundbreaking ceremony for Columbia College’s Public Safety Center on Monday, June 16 at 10:00 a.m. The ceremony will be held at the present fire house site on the college campus, located off Sawmill Flat Road in Sonora. The Public Safety Center will consolidate existing campus emergency services into a single location. This includes Columbia College Fire Station #79, Columbia College Campus....


Security, and emergency dispatch services. By combining these services into one location, emergency response on campus and within the community will be greatly enhanced.

The $2.8 million building project is funded by Measure E, which was passed by voters in the area served by the Yosemite Community College District (YCCD), of which Columbia College is a part. Among them are residents of Tuolumne and eastern Calaveras Counties.

Plans call for upgrading the current 2,900 sq. ft. fire house and more than doubling the available space by constructing an adjoining 3,000 sq. ft. addition. The new structure will contain a residential facility with separate quarters for men and women fire science students. A new 13’ x 32’ bay will increase the total amount of bay space in the center to 1,312 sq. ft. for equipment storage. Off-street visitor parking, campus security offices and dispatch center, and an indoor public foyer will become part of the future site.

Operations of the Public Safety Center are conducted as a partnership of the YCCD/Columbia College, Cal Fire and the Tuolumne County Fire Department. The anticipated project completion date is summer 2009.

Along with Dr. Joan Smith, Columbia College president and Dr. Roe Darnell, YCCD chancellor, event hosts include the YCCD Board of Trustees: Abe Rojas, chairperson; Paul Neumann, vice chairperson; Pat Dean; Desirree Abshire; Anne DeMartini; Linda Flores; Tom Hallinan; and Bernard Vasquez, student trustee. The facility architecture is designed by Lionakis of Sacramento and the contractor is Robert E. Boyer Construction of Twain Harte. Project management is handled by Kitchell, CEM of Modesto.
