groundbreaking for the future Building E

Long Beach City College (LBCC) held a groundbreaking ceremony today for the new Building E College Center, a transformative project that will become the pulse of student life on the Liberal Arts Campus.

“This groundbreaking of the new college center is a reminder of what our communities can build together when we choose progress over complacency and inclusion over animosity,” said Uduak-Joe Ntuk, President of the Long Beach Community College District (LBCCD) Board of Trustees. “By passing Measure LB and Measure AC, our voters decided to invest not just in new walls, but in the belief that every student—no matter their background, zip code, or life story—deserves a vibrant place to learn, thrive, and grow. As a former LBCC student who studied in the former building, it’s inspiring to witness the new Building E reborn as a dynamic center of student life that will empower generations of LBCC scholars to dream bigger and achieve more.”
