Ohlone College Newark Center for Health Sciences and Technology
College of Opportunity
Ohlone College is proud of its service to hundreds of thousands of residents of the Tri-Cities and Bay Area communities. We are excited that construction is underway on the Ohlone College Newark Center for Health Sciences and Technology. Thanks to a $150 million bond measure passed by the voters in March 2002, this vital project is being constructed on an 80+ acre site on Cherry Street with classes scheduled to begin in 2008.
The Ohlone College Newark campus will truly be the “College of the Future”! This campus will be the first “green” community college campus in the nation, one that teaches environmental stewardship through responsible, sustainable practices. The Newark campus incorporates 
resource efficient features such as photovoltaic solar panels, geothermal heating and cooling, high-efficiency lighting, low water consumption, and extensive use of recycled materials. These measures help to preserve environmental resources and save hundreds of thousands of dollars in operational costs.
The Ohlone “College of the Future” is designed to accommodate students from a very diverse population, adapting to the learning needs of all students. Students will be taught in classrooms with state-of-the-art equipment and research-based instruction methods to create a powerful student-centered learning environment. Key curriculum taught at the center will include our highly successful biotechnology program, nursing, health sciences, emerging technologies, and environmental studies.
Ohlone College and the community have worked for years to ensure a permanent community college presence in Newark . The Ohlone “College of the Future” will be a “College of Opportunity ” for our diverse student population and for our community.
