Some buildings at Mt. SAC are over 80 years old and in need of basic improvements. If approved by voters, Measure V funding could be used to remove asbestos, repairs leaky roofs and deteriorating restrooms and plumbing, improves handicapped accessibility, protects drinking water, and updates the storm water system to prevent water pollution, replaces outdated electrical and air conditioning systems and upgrades security and fire safety systems campus-wide.
