"I had said to the students, 'You may not have enough money to cover the cost, but I'm going to support this bond,'" Galatolo said. "As for the science annex, that's a different spin. The building is so dated and is in such disrepair that it would be a better use to build new facilities rather than to try to retrofit and renovate [the older facilities]."
The new science annex will contain state-of-the-art labs for biology majors, the highlight of which will be a microbiology lab, and in the new student service center there will be a cyber café as well as a study room and a game room, featuring pool tables and other amenities.
"It will definitely be a dry area from those moist days we have on campus," said Ilka Barcala, president of the Associated Students of Skyline College (ASSC). "It will be really beneficial to the students."
Though it seemed like a relatively small undertaking, many people attended the event including former Skyline College presidents, assembly men and their representatives, and former ASSC members, including Hien Kieu, who traveled from UC Davis to attend the ceremony.
"I'm very excited and honored to be part of such a wonderful event," Kieu said. "I think it's really great."
