Steep, relentless enrollment decline at Mesa Community College could force the dramatic downsizing or even closure of its Red Mountain campus, a 100-acre architectural jewel opened less than 15 years ago.

Full-time enrollment at MCC has dropped by nearly a quarter since the 2010-11 school year and by more than a third at the Red Mountain campus specifically, according to an MCC report. Factor in widespread budget pressure at the Maricopa County Community College District level, and things aren't looking good.
