Exciting news reported by the Malibu Times that Santa Monica College is looking to open a satellite campus on Civic Center land in Malibu.
Santa Monica College was in discussions with Los Angeles County officials, including the Malibu Public Facilities Authority during a special meeting last week at city hall.
The move makes sense in many ways for both the county and for the college. The question of how to best spend $20 million for development of the civic center facility continues to work its way through the bureaucracy of a Joint Powers Agreement, a $135 million bond measure approved by Santa Monica and Malibu voters in 2004.
SMC has already used $2.5 million of the bond money to help the City of Malibu purchase land in the Civic Center for Legacy Park, and has earmarked another $2.5 million for the park project.
Definately exciting news for Malibu and the surrounding area. Of course Malibu already has the prestigious Pepperdine University within its confines which welcomes thousands of students every year from around the world.
