Evergreen Valley College

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Evergreen Valley College is a community college located on in the southeastern foothills of San José, Santa Clara County, California, relatively close to downtown San José. As of Fall 2008, more than 8,000 students from more than 70 countries were enrolled.

Evergreen Valley College graduated its first class in 1975. Plans for a new college officially started nine years earlier in 1964, with the creation of the San José/Evergreen Community College District to govern the existing San José City College and what would become Evergreen Valley College. The site was purchased in 1967, the college named Evergreen Valley College in 1970, and the first two buildings completed in 1975.

In recent years, bond measures allowed Evergreen Valley College to build needed facilities: new classrooms and labs for biological sciences and nursing education programs, a new library, a center to accommodate student life, and the Montgomery Hill Observatory. Construction on a new Visual and Performing Arts Center is currently underway and existing facilities are also being modernized.
