The Project site currently contains a central plant, a single-story portable classroom building containing seven classrooms, one single story portable restroom building, lawn area and paved pathways. The Project would not increase student enrollment capacity at the Laney College campus. It is proposed in response to the District’s plan to provide a new campus library to meet current and future learning needs.

The building would contain about 71,800 gross square feet and would be three stories tall with an approximate height of 52 feet. The building exterior would include stucco, steel and glass. Environmental Review: An Initial Study (IS) has been prepared under the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for review and action by PCCD. The IS evaluates the potential environmental impacts of the proposed Project. Based on the results of the IS prepared according to CEQA Guidelines, it has been determined the Project will not have a significant effect on the environment and a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) has been prepared.

  • The President Letter From
    Letter from the President Welcome to Laney College! On behalf of the faculty, staff, and administrators, I would like to share with you some of the reasons why Laney will work for you, as it has worked for over 10,000 students each year since 1953. With student success as the focal point guiding all of our work, the Laney College student is well supported by an absolutely dynamic and committed group of subject matter experts who work passionately to foster student learning, as well as a student services support team who go over and beyond daily to help our students navigate the ins and outs of higher education. The versatility of the programmatic offerings at Laney provide options for all types of students… Laney is home to the students who are looking to complete a degree or certificate, the students who plan to transfer to four-year universities to continue their education, the students who are looking to brush-up on technical skills for work or prepare themselves fo r a profession/trade, and even the students who are looking to improve their college readiness skills for a smoother transition to college-level course-work. At Laney, we are keenly aware that when a student enrolls in classes, they are investing in themselves, and may need some help with wrap-around support services in order to be able to reach their full potential. Some of the resources afforded to Laney students include a weekly food pantry give-away, tutoring services, financial aid, programs such as CalWORKS, CARE & EOPS, and learning communities that help nurture and enrich particular groups of students in culturally appropriate ways that are proven to fa cilitate higher success rates.
