Measure E Projects at De Anza

Measure E is a $248 million bond approved in 1999 by voters in the Foothill-De Anza Community College District, enabling the district to repair and rehabilitate college facilities to meet current standards. Approximately $130 million was earmarked for renovation and construction at De Anza.

The funds helped to pay for replacing aging roofs, plumbing and electrical systems; refurbishing classrooms, science laboratories and restrooms; and constructing science and high-tech computer labs, classrooms and school facilities.
