Coming Soon: the Gavilan College
Coyote Valley Educational Center!
Gavilan JCCD Coyote Valley Educational Center
88
The project is located in the area of San Jose known as North
Coyote Valley. Located at 560 Bailey Avenue (across from IBM)
between the Santa Teresa Hills on the west and Fisher Creek on the
east, it is approximately 1.8 miles southwest of the Bailey Avenue
and U.S. Highway 101 interchange, and close to a bus line that
runs from San Jose to Gilroy.
The Coyote Valley site will be especially convenient to the
northern section of the Gavilan Joint Community College District
(the district extends from Bernal Road in San Jose through most of
San Benito County). See you at the Grand Opening in Fall 2016!

n 2004 the voters of the Gavilan Joint Community College
District passed Bond Measure E, providing funds to upgrade the
Gilroy campus and to establish future campuses at the north-
ern and southern ends of the district. The college went through a
four-year, rigorous site selection and in 2006 purchased 55 acres on
Bailey Road. (Land has also been purchased in San Benito County.)
When completely built out – a ten-to-thirty year process,
depending upon the availability of state funding – the site could
be home to a full-service community college accommodating up
to 10,000 students. Phase I of development is now underway.
Phase I will comprise 28,800 square
feet, in five single-story modular
buildings, and will include classrooms,
and specialized facilities for a police
academy program.
The college plans to begin to
offer evening credit classes in a variety
of college subjects at the new location,
beginning in Fall 2016. Additionally,
The Coyote Valley Educational Center
will home to the South Bay Regional
Public Safety Training Consortium, of
which Gavilan is one of nine member
districts. Gavilan College Coyote Valley
Educational Center will be the new hub
for regional public safety training.
