equipped rock-cutting and preparation workshop, a weather station, map
collections, telescopes, and a first-class planetarium staffed by a full time
specialist, all of which are resources available for department faculty. The

CAMPUS
DESCRIPTION
The SRJC Petaluma Campus currently enrolls nearly 6,000
students in credit and non-credit courses. Each semester, approximately 350
course sections in nearly 60 disciplines are offered, including many majors and
certificates as well as all of the courses necessary for transfer to UC, CSU, or
to complete SRJCs general education requirements. SRJC has been offering courses
in the Petaluma area for nearly 50 years. The original Petaluma Center operated
primarily as an evening program until the completion in 1995 of permanent
facilities on its current site, and was granted campus status by the SRJC Board
of Trustees and the California Community College Chancellors Office in the
spring of 1999. A second phase of new construction was completed in 2008; a
third phase renovated the original campus. This project, the largest of its kind
in SRJCs history, tripled the square footage of the campus. Among the new
facilities are labs and classrooms, a second art studio, a 35,000 square foot
library, a physical fitness center, a bookstore, student services and support
areas, expanded dining space, faculty/administrative offices, and a 256-seat
auditorium. The campus offers state-of-the-art technology throughout, including
a wireless network, fully mediated instructional facilities, and
video-conferencing capabilities. Other unique features of the campus include the
Capri Creek restoration project and an accessible walking and bike trail system.
A Cinema Series, Digital Media, Networking, Help Desk, Fitness, Nutrition and
Health, CISCO, and Water Resources Technology certificates are some of the
program offerings unique to the campus. This beautiful campus is located 35
miles north of San
Francisco.
