In addition to the cluster, Mowry said, there will be certain shared facilities such as the student union , performance hall, administrative center and library and audio/ visual centers. EVC and SJCC are both in the same community college district, Mowry stated, so that students may attend either
school, or both, if they choose to do so.

The college is being built in subsequent phases to allow for matching of enrollment requiremen ts and, when completed, will eventually accommodate 27,000 day and evening stiJdents, he concluded.
