History

In 1980, The Irvine Company sold 30 acres of land to RSCCD. [2] In 1985, RSCCD opened the school, which was simply called the Orange Campus at that time. [3] Enrollment was approximately 2,500 students during the first semester of operation. [4] [5] In July 1997, the school separated from Santa Ana College and changed its name to Santiago Canyon College. [6]

In January 2000, the college was independently accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges. [7] [8] Later that year, The Irvine Company donated an additional 12 acres to the school. The school's footprint expanded again in April 2003 when RSCCD used funds from Measure E (passed in November 2002) to buy nearly 19 additional acres. [9]

In September 2004, a Student Services and Instruction building was completed. [10] In late 2006, the Library building opened. [11] In January 2009, the softball complex opened. [12] The Science Center opened for the Fall 2010 semester. In January 2013, the Athletics and Aquatics Complex opened. [13] Later in 2013, the Humanities building opened for the fall 2013 semester.
