CLIENT THOUGHTS

Rich Pagel, Vice President of Administrative Services, Orange Coast College:

“Cambridge West provides exceptional service in facilities planning. Their team of educational facility planners has assisted Orange Coast College in facilities planning for several years and provided valuable guidance in obtaining millions of dollars in state facilities funding.”

Janet Houlihan, Vice President of Administrative Services, Golden West College:

“We have enjoyed working with Cambridge West. We have found them to be very helpful and willing to go the extra mile in assisting us with our facilities needs. The Resource and Facilities Master Plan they recently produced for us was exceptional. They were able to take a great deal of information and put it in a format that was easy to understand. Their assistance in mapping out our facilities needs will help us in our planning efforts for many years to come.”

Steve Menzel, Vice President of Administrative Services, Chaffey College: 

“Chaffey College and Cambridge West Partnership have enjoyed an excellent working relationship. For the past several years, they have helped us prepare our Five Year Capital Construction Plans, Space Inventory Reports, and Initial and Final Project Proposals. Cambridge West’s quick response, input, and support have resulted in obtaining state approval for several major capital outlay construction projects. We consider them an important part of our on-campus planning efforts.”

Ann-Marie Gabel, Vice President of Administrative Services, Long Beach City College:

“We have worked with Cambridge West Partnership for the past three years. They produced the District’s Educational and Facilities Master Plan that was used to support and justify successful passage of our $440 million bond program extension. We currently work with them to assist us with our 5-Year Construction Plan, our project proposals to the state, and for implementation support of our bond program. They truly understand and know community colleges and are able to finesse their way through all the committees for the benefit of the College.”

Ardith Richey, Director of Planning and Facilities, Coast Community College District:

"Cambridge West has assisted Coast Community College District with its State revenue resourcing program. Cambridge West was directly involved with $129 million in approved projects and another $100 million that is pending. The Cambridge team has kept Coast in the funding queue at the State and helped us with our relationship at the State Chancellor’s Office. They are so good at their job that Coast has tripled the number of capital outlay projects now in the funding process. Cambridge West is a very responsive firm and very detailed at their designated work tasks.”

Deborah Blue, Vice Chancellor of District-wide Planning and Education Services, Contra Costa Community College District:

“Cambridge West has assisted us with the development of our Strategic Plan. The research support provided by Dr. Trapp was instrumental in our efforts to define a multi college district through the articulation of a single planning document."

Cheryl Tucker, Director of Special Programs, Redwoods Community College District:

“Cambridge West’s work has been of immense value in assisting us with the resolution of issues relating to planning, program review and assessment of student learning outcomes. Their extensive experience with institutional research and teaching have given them the unique ability to identify and understand the complex challenges presented to institutions implementing student learning outcomes assessment. They have been able to convey complex and sometimes controversial information in a manner that was intelligent, thoughtful and respected.”
