SANTA BARBARA — The Santa Barbara City College (SBCC) Board of Trustees voted unanimously to name the new Physical Education and Athletics building the “Michael A. Goldberg Physical Education Building,” in recognition of a $5 million dollar gift to the SBCC Foundation from Cheryl Goldberg, wife of the late Michael Goldberg. In addition to the naming of the building the SBCC Board of Trustees also unanimously voted to name the building’s gymnasium in honor of Kathleen “Kathy” O’Connor, five-decade Physical Education faculty member and major advocate for the new building.
“We are beyond thrilled about the generous donation from Cheryl Goldberg and I also wanted to honor the work of Kathy O’Connor, who is the impetus for the new building,” shared Superintendent/President Dr. Erika Endrijonas. “Scheduled for completion in late spring of 2028, the new building provides state-of-the-art classrooms, event spaces, a new home for the SBCC Life Fitness Center, offices, and more in half the footprint of the existing building.”
