The City of Goleta is committed to restoring and preserving this important resource and will soon be embarking on a critical renovation project which includes much-needed seismic and accessibility improvements. While construction is underway, the City will be working on a vision and a strategic plan for the future of the GCC, which will include input from community members and stakeholders on how to better utilize the facility and make it a more inviting gathering place in the future.

Background:
The City of Goleta acquired the Community Center in 2013. The building once served as the Goleta Union elementary school, but the school was closed in 1976 because it did not meet minimum seismic requirements for a school. For the next several decades it was run by a non-profit organization known as the Goleta Valley Community Center. The City of Goleta will assume management of the Goleta Community Center (GCC) on January 1, 2023.
