“This move enables us to provide an excellent learning environment to those who work and study in San Diego,” said John G. Burlison, director of the regional center.
FACTS:

The center houses 10 state-of-the-art classrooms, a nursing skills lab, 10 faculty and staff offices, additional adjunct offices, a student lounge, and a larger parking structure which better meets the needs of the expanding enrollment.
