Health and Wellness ComplexWHAT: Thanks to Measure G (2012) Bond dollars, Cerritos College will celebrate the grand opening of a new Health & Wellness Complex on Monday, April 8 at 5:30 p.m. The project is located immediately south of Falcon Gymnasium, along the western edge of the campus' athletic precinct.

The 76,000-square-foot facility centralizes essential functions to the Health, Physical Education, Dance and Athletics department, including fitness labs, cardio workout and training rooms, multi-purpose studios, and offices. The Complex also houses the Student Health Center, making it a more accessible, efficient facility where students can receive quality health care services.

The Health & Wellness Complex consists of six new buildings: Athletic Team Room Building, Dance Building, Fitness Building, Conference Center, Health Services Building, and a Physical Education Building. The Athletic Team Room Building and Health Services Building are currently under construction and will be completed in 2020.

As the home base for the College’s athletic and physical education activities, the new Health & Wellness Complex provides expanded space for laboratories, classrooms, office and support spaces. The facility is designed to meet the needs of the campus’s robust physical education and athletic programs.
