Moreno Valley College Library Learning Resource Center (LLRC) Building

The Riverside Community College District (RCCD) is proposing construction of a Library Learning Resource Center (LLRC) at the Moreno Valley College (MVC) in the existing Parking Lot B. The new LLRC will provide students with upgraded resources for information access and additional space for individual/group study, library services, faculty and student services offices, and audio/visual media services. In addition to library and learning resource functions, the facility will be a center of activity for the College and include space for the Student Activity Center. The proposed LLRC will be located near the center of the RCCD campus at an existing parking lot (Parking Lot B), located east of Lasselle Street, west of Krameria Avenue, south of College Drive, and north of Cahuilla Avenue adjacent to the student Drop-Off on Krameria Street. The Project would construct a new building which increases capacity within laboratory, office, library, and audio/visual media space on campus. The Project will include updated infrastructure, technology capabilities, accessibility, and energy efficiency by building a new three-story LLRC at MVC. The proposed LLRC will encompass 83,255 Gross Square Feet (GSF) and consists of 55,287 Assignable Square Feet (ASF). Functional space within the building will include 2,257 ASF of classroom, 3,086 ASF of laboratory, 6,811 ASF of office, 27,874 ASF of library, 4,091 ASF of audio/visual, and 7,935 ASF of other support space (see Figure 2.3 1 through Figure 2.3 4). The existing Library, Bookstore, and Student Activities Center will be inactivated as a secondary effect of this Project. The existing Library is planned to be repurposed as a separate future project. The Student Activities Center may be utilized as swing space on campus until it is eventually demolished as a separate construction project. Regional access to the Project site is provided from either Interstate (I) 215 (east on either Ramona Expressway, or Alessandro Boulevard), or Highway 60 (Perris Boulevard south). Within the campus the Project is east of Lasselle Street, west of Krameria Avenue, south of College Drive, and north of Cahuilla Avenue adjacent to the student drop-off on Krameria Street. The main pedestrian access will be from the north, on the College Drive side of the building. This leads to a small courtyard, and into the lobby/core area between the two main wings of the building. Additional pedestrian access is from the south side of the building and leads into the lobby/core area. The service driveway and service access is planned for the southwest corner of the building. This service driveway is accessed from the south through the existing parking lot, with the closest streets being Cahuilla Drive and Krameria Avenue. Parking would remain on the undisturbed portion of the parking lot, and under the solar panels on the west side of the lot.
