Reminder: Extra Traffic on Campus March 24-26 With Arrival of Vehicle Maintenance Management Conference

The Shoreline Community College Professional Automotive Training Center – Dealer Training Academy will be hosting the Vehicle Maintenance Management Conference (VMMC) March 24-26.

This is a large event that happens annually and will likely have some impact on parking around the 2100 building. We have taken steps to help lessen the impact to the campus community during the spring break and the first days of the spring quarter. Please note that there will be an increase in traffic around the 2100 building and we will be moving vehicles back to the building in a scheduled manner to help lessen the impact to students, staff and faculty.
