Pahrump, 436 miles south of Elko, is the home of GBC’s newest campus the Pahrump
Valley Branch Campus (PVC). The PVC is the center for GBC’s offerings in Beatty,
Gabbs, Round Mountain, Tonopah and other communities throughout Nye
County. The PVC is currently a single building located on the campus of the Pahrump
High School and is a joint use high tech center. During the day, high school classes
and college classes use the classrooms in the building. When the high school day ends,
GBC’s college classes take over all the classrooms. A new 14,000 square foot building
to be located on the North edge of Pahrump is in the planning phase with a “hoped
for” completion of Fall 2010. The completion of the new building with it’s
additional laboratory facilities will enable GBC to begin offering additional health
and technical courses and degree programs.
The current PVC staff include a Director and three office staff, two full-time faculty
members and over 30 adjunct faculty to coordinate and teach courses and degree programs.
The full-time PVC staff is supplemented by nearly 20 part-time computer lab aids, interactive
video facilitators, and student tutors, plus rotating GBC staff to help with student
advising during busy seasons. You are cordially invited to visit the Pahrump Valley
Branch Campus to see the computer and science laboratories, and to discuss your educational
plans and how GBC can help you achieve your educational goal. |
