•The project was initially known as the West Valley Campus—Palm Springs. •It was advertised in 2009-10 as a new campus plan for the Liberal Arts department with a massive solar energy park to be operated in partnership with private utility. •In 2013, COD administration determined that a new site had to be found for the West Valley Campus after the partnership to develop the solar energy park fell through. •Several years were spent obtaining the land rights to the current site (former Palm Spring mall at East Tahquitz Canyon Way and South Farrell Drive). •By 2018, in addition to the location change to the “mall site”, the name became the Palm Springs Development Project, and planning had evolved to focus on career education curriculum. Programs within four primary areas—Hospitality and Tourism, Media and Arts, Healthcare and Health Services, and Sustainable Technology--were selected.•In 2021, COD administration paused to validate and update the construction needs for the Palm Springs campus.WHAT IS THE HISTORY OF THEPALMSPRINGSCAMPUS?2
