History and Related Background
Shasta College is a
comprehensive California Community College offering academic programs in
vocational-technical, university transfer and community services. The main
campus is two miles northeast of Redding and the current enrollment is 11,000
students. Twenty-two hundred students are served at various locations in Tehama
County. Shasta College has served the tri-county area for over fifty years and
has a reputation of excellent academic quality within the state.
Shasta College currently
leases property on Lincoln Street from the City of Red Bluff as well as property
located in adjacent communities. On March 5, 2002, a bond measure was passed by
the voters that provides for funds to acquire property and construct a new
campus in central Tehama County to replace the rented and temporary facilities
as well as to expand the curriculum offerings for technology-related
occupations.

constructed by Shasta College on the site described in this Request for
Proposals will be known as the Shasta College I-5 Technology Center. The
building will consists of 65,000 square feet of classrooms, offices and
technology-learning laboratories. Plans include a snack bar, student lockers
and a small exercise facility within the building. The building will be open 24
hours per day and 7 days per week with the exception of holidays. Offered
curriculum will include basic skills, general education and select
vocational-professional programs in fields such as agri-business, food
processing, transportation systems and logistics, alternative fuels and
telecommunications.
