Finally, a "Real" College
Folsom Lake College is no longer a glorified set of portable classrooms. With the addition of 88,000 square feet of facilities, the junior college now feels like a "real college", with brand-new facilities, and a killer view of Folsom Lake. The school will continue to grow until at least 2015. Full storyLabels: Folsom Lake College, schools

It Keeps Growing...
Watch it grow. Folsom Lake College, now a large building surrounding by a sea of portables, will soon become the third largest community college in the Los Rios district (behind American River and Sac City). The college is expected to enroll 20,000 students in 10 years. Quite a feat for a school which used to be just 2 full-time faculty with 1200 students.

That's Our New College Up On That Hill!
The structure you have seen being created on top of the hill near Home Depot is not an elementary scholl, nor is it a church. That's part of Folsom Lake College, which will likely soon be a 20,000-student community college, tucked away in the Folsom Hills. In 2004, Folsom Lake College will gain independence and no longer be considered a satellite campus of Consumnes River College... with many phases of expansion forthcoming, we've only seen the beginning of a brand new part of Folsom. More in the Bee.
