"Marin County and the Bay Area are at the epicenter of environmentalism and sustainability," he said. "Institutions, researchers and businesses are increasingly going green. Marin County is at the forefront of that, yet there is no community college that makes green its color." College of Marin will hopefully fill that void with its reinvigorated campus and curriculum to attract more credit and non-credit students.
Students will be able to receive a more environmentally-based education or at least an awareness that will better prepare them for working in a green Marin or Bay Area business.
December will bring the final draft of the educational master plan and the final master plan is scheduled for completion by the spring of 2006. Major construction will begin fall 2006. "There was a misconception that [COM leadership] had to slow down the facilities plan in order to complete the educational master plan, but this is not true," Carothers said. "It hasn't slowed down one bit."
