El Camino’s completely new Arts Complex and Behavioral & Social Sciences Building were recently celebrated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. The festive event recognized a significant milestone in the growth of El Camino College.
The Behavioral & Social Sciences Building is a two-story, 52,894-square-foot learning area that includes classrooms, a computer lab, collaborative study and meeting spaces, offices, and an outdoor learning space. American studies, anthropology, child development/education, economics, ethnic studies, history, human development, philosophy, political science, psychology, social justice studies, sociology, and women's studies departments are housed in this modern structure in the center of campus.
The new 58,450-square-foot Arts Complex contains 2D and 3D art classrooms, along with sculpture, jewelry design, digital design classes, film/video, photography, and print-making areas. Exterior gathering and instruction areas are included within a large quad that is a shared space with the Behavioral & Social Science Building. The state-of-the-art facility also includes the Anthropology Museum, Art Gallery, and staff offices.
The El Camino College Art Gallery’s new space showcases student creations and a wide variety of work from contemporary professional artists. Year-round interactive workshops offer hands-on art experiences for the entire college community.
