The Columbia Basin College Board of Trustees tonight named its main entrance off Argent Road in honor of Senior Vice President for Administrative Services, Bill Saraceno.
Saraceno Way carries the name of the man who has been the driving force for capital projects at CBC since 1985.
President Richard Cummins says Saraceno’s efforts are evident throughout the CBC campus.
“Bill Saraceno has been a driving force in over $100-million in important construction projects since 1995. Bill is renowned throughout the state system of community and technical colleges for his expertise and knowledge, which has been invaluable to CBC and the Benton-Franklin community. I’m proud to announce that the College’s main entrance will now be called Saraceno Way,” said Cummins.
The entrance way was completed in 2000 following the opening of the new Hawk Union Building. The latest facility, the 88,000 square foot Center for Career and Technical Education, is on Saraceno Way and is scheduled to open in 2011.
