May 10, 2023

San Juan College has announced a series of roadway and signage improvements, mostly to its main campus in Farmington. 

The most immediate change visitors will see is the closure of the front (East) entrance off College Boulevard and the two front parking lots in front of the Learning Commons (A) and Henderson Fine Arts Center (B).  Those closures will begin Monday, May 15, 2023.

The biggest changes will be the addition of an arch at the main entrance off College Boulevard and a new roundabout in front of the Learning Commons.

The project is being funded with the 2022 General Obligation bonds that were passed last November. The scope of work includes upgrading portions of the campus ring road and to create a continuous loop, addressing pedestrian circulation with new paths, curbs, site lighting and marking to provide safer travel through the campus. The project will include a new bus loop and roundabout for the east entry off of College Blvd. In addition to the infrastructure and road improvements, the project will provide new entry gateways and signage to improve wayfinding throughout the campus.

The roadway lighting improvement at San Juan College West in Kirtland will provide safer driving conditions for staff and students to our West Campus.

• Attorney for Farmington Police Officers Respond to Lawsuit Threat

  Attorney Luis Robles recounts that after the officers knocked on the Dotson's front door three times and announced their presence, they "waited calmly for someone to answer the door, but the longer they waited, the more concerned they became. Before taking further action, Officer Wasson contacted dispatch to verify the address of the calling party. Then, Officer Wasson heard the distinctive sound of someone inside the house rack a firearm. Fearing that this person was preparing to shoot at them, all three officers quickly backed away from the porch.
