To serve the geographically expansive population, Bakersfield College has three dedicated campuses: Panorama Campus, Delano Campus and the Weill Institute. The College also operates satellite facilities at Stockdale High School in southwest Bakersfield, at the Olive Drive Training Center in northwest Bakersfield, at the WESTEC (Westside Energy Services Training and Education Center) facility in Shafter, and in Arvin, a community 23 miles southeast of Bakersfield. An array of courses in many disciplines are also available through online- and television-based delivery.
Panorama Campus is located at 1801 Panorama Drive in Bakersfield, approximately five miles east of downtown Bakersfield. The 153-acre campus houses the majority of the College’s student programs and services, as well as the majority of student enrollment. Bakersfield College’s Panorama Campus consists of 22 major buildings, a ten acre agriculture lab and a full range of athletic facilities, as well as lush green belts and ample parking lots.
Delano Campus is located at 1450 Timmons Avenue in Delano, approximately 30 miles north of Bakersfield. The new campus on Timmons Avenue shares facilities with Robert F. Kennedy High School under a joint use agreement. Delano Campus’ Science and Technology building is the newest facility for Bakersfield College and features state of the art computer and science labs, faculty offices and classrooms. Enrollment at the Delano Campus continues to be strong, with student headcount growing from 733 in Fall 1998 to 2,999 in Fall 2007 and Spring 2008 combined.
Weill Institute is located at 2100 Chester Avenue in Bakersfield, in the heart of downtown Bakersfield. This building shares resources with the Kern Community College District - the district which Bakersfield College is a part. The Weill Institute facility is where Bakersfield College houses the public safety academics, community education and specialized training.
To better meet the needs of the growing community, the Kern Community College District, on behalf of Bakersfield College, recently acquired parcels of land in northwest and southwest Bakersfield. At Enos and Kratzmeyer lanes in northwest Bakersfield is 235 acres of land designated to serve western and northern Kern County. At Bear Mountain Boulevard and Highway 99 is 126 acres of land designated to serve the southeast communities of Arvin and Lamont, as well as the mountain communities to the south. A timeline for development of these projects has not been slated. |
