When you choose where to study, your environment matters. The classrooms you learn in, the labs you train in, and the spaces where you connect all play a role in your success.

At Long Beach City College (LBCC), that commitment to student success is being recognized at a regional level.

LBCC, in partnership with Cordoba Corporation, has received multiple 2026 Project Achievement Awards from the Construction Management Association of America Southern California Chapter—honoring excellence in construction and program management across the region.

Award-Winning Projects That Elevate the Student Experience

Three major campus projects were recognized for their innovation, quality, and impact:

• Jenni Rivera Performing Arts Center (Building G)
• Building MM – Construction Trades II Complex
• Access Control, Lockdown, and Mass Notification System Upgrade (TTC Campus)

Each project was awarded in different categories based on scale, highlighting LBCC’s ability to deliver excellence across a range of facilities—from large-scale learning environments to essential campus safety systems.

Designed for Your Future

These aren’t just buildings—they’re spaces built to prepare students for real-world success.

The Building MM complex supports hands-on programs such as Architecture, Carpentry, HVAC, Horticulture, and Plant Science—fields directly connected to growing industries like aerospace, advanced manufacturing, and construction.

Meanwhile, the Jenni Rivera Performing Arts Center, a $102 million state-of-the-art facility, provides cutting-edge spaces for students studying Music, Dance, Performing Arts, and Broadcasting. Named after LBCC alumna and global icon Jenni Rivera, the center reflects both excellence and inspiration.

✔ Modern, high-quality learning environments
