MCC Downtown will be a partnership driven, not comprehensive, campus. The City of Mesa, Mesa Public Schools, and the college have all joined together to provide educational opportunities. The MCC Business and Industry Institute is already located in downtown Mesa. This will serve as the foundation for the advanced technology center that will also house MCC online. Ownership of the old Irving School has been transmitted to Mesa Public Schools and upon completion of remodeling, a number of programs, including the MCC Life Options Center, will be located in this facility. Exciting prospects for relocation of the MCC Extended Campus, joint library services with the city, partnership opportunities between the Mesa Fire Department and the MCC Fire Science Program, and expanded health and wellness programs, are all currently in discussion.

The city and the college have been partners for the last four decades and equally share the excitement of this vision for a needed educational complex. The MCC Mesa Downtown Campus is an important and worthy effort for our community.
