Ohlone College Newark Center Site Project

The Ohlone College Newark Center for Technology and Health Sciences is a direct outgrowth of Ohlone College's Educational Master Plan. The Center constitutes approximately 130,000 gross square feet of learning space. Groups represented in the new campus include academic programs such as:

• Health Sciences (Registered Nursing, Respiratory Therapist, Physical Therapist Assistant)
• Biology / Biotechnology Sciences
• Environmental Studies / Science
• Emerging Technologies
• Fitness / Wellness
• General Education
• Learning Resources Center

The Center design creates a “sense of place” through a central social hub as well as connecting corridors featuring ancillary services and amenities. The design incorporates sustainable architecture principles, and is based on LEED® certification. In August 2008, the Newark Center officially achieved LEED® Platinum Certification by the US Green Building Council for environmentally sustainable construction and building operation.
