Oxnard College will hold a groundbreaking ceremony on October 30 at 11:30 a.m. for its new Dental Hygiene building to be located on campus at 4000 South Rose Avenue in Oxnard. Upon completion, the Dental Hygiene building will provide students and instructors with instructional lab space, a classroom, clinic, and office space. Facility construction is being provided through Measure S Bond funding with an anticipated project budget of $3.5 million. Occupancy is tentatively scheduled for spring 2015. The Oxnard College Dental Hygiene Program prepares students to become licensed dental professionals. Experience is gained through a combination of experiences at an on‐campus dental hygiene clinic and at off-campus rotations. The groundbreaking ceremony will include the Ventura County Community College District Board of Trustees, Chancellor, Oxnard College President, employees, and students. The ceremony is open to the public. Light refreshments and free parking will be available.
