Our Facilities
Folsom Lake College, Main Campus
10 College Parkway, Folsom, CA 95630
In 1967, the Los Rios Community College District (LRCCD) acquired a 151-acre parcel of land to be preserved for a future college. At its inception in 1991, Folsom Lake Center began operation at the current site in Folsom as a center of Cosumnes River College. In Fall 1992, the state Board of Governors and the California Post-secondary Education Commission approved the Folsom Lake site as the fourth college of the LRCCD. In Spring 1993, classes were first offered in portables at the main campus site. The first permanent building, Aspen Hall/FL1, opened in 2001.
Due to tremendous growth of the Folsom region, the facilities quickly expanded to keep up with demand for quality education. Currently, the beautiful campus includes over 240,000 square feet of state-of-the-art instructional space; an enormous library and computer lab for student use; the Falcon's Roost, the hub of student life on campus; physical education and athletics facilities and fields; the Innovation Center Makerspace; and the renowned Harris Center for the Arts.
Folsom Lake College, El Dorado Center
6699 Campus Drive, Placerville, CA 95667
Folsom Lake College’s El Dorado Center was established in the mid-1960s as a state-funded education center and was located in several portable buildings on El Dorado County land next to the county fairgrounds. Because of the continued enrollment growth at the center, and the keen interest and desire of the citizens of the greater Placerville area to have a permanent community college center in Placerville, the Los Rios Community College District Board of Trustees authorized the purchase of approximately 19 acres of land from the El Dorado County Board of Education. The site was approved by the California Community Colleges and the State of California for a permanent site in 1988.
Construction of the first phase of permanent facilities was completed in the spring of 1994 and opened for classes in August 1994. A physical education building was completed and opened for classes in January 1999. An additional parking lot opened in Fall 2003. A second instructional building that completed the center’s build-out was opened in Spring 2006. An expansion and remodel of the student services area was completed in Spring 2015.
The El Dorado Center serves the educational needs of those working and living on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada in El Dorado and adjoining counties. More than 2,500 students attend the El Dorado Center. The facility has state-of-the-art science labs and a fitness center, and has been recognized with a statewide architectural award of excellence. The center offers a full range of transfer and vocational programs as well as student support services. The center is well positioned to meet the educational needs of the area’s growing population and is also home to the Community Observatory and the Sherwood Demonstration Garden.
Folsom Lake College, Rancho Cordova Center
