West Valley's data center needs upgrades to its air conditioning system, which is unable to keep up with current demand. This significant data center redesign will right-size the data center and provide modern cooling systems and a containment structure for servers and equipment, as well as a new uninterruptable power supply. This redesign will support the operational capacity of the District and colleges.

Computer Replacement Project – FY 2026–27

The FY 2026–27 Computer Replacement Project will replace approximately 125 aging staff and faculty computers across West Valley College and Mission College. The project supports the District's ongoing technology refresh strategy by improving reliability, performance, security, and the overall user experience while reducing support costs associated with older hardware.

Mission College
Computer replacements will primarily support faculty in the Science, Healthcare, and Mathematics divisions, replacing aging systems used for instruction, student support, and academic operations.

West Valley College
Computer replacements will primarily support staff in the Library and Admissions & Records departments, improving access to technology resources and enhancing the delivery of student services.

Redesign and modernize the Information Technology service catalog to improve the user experience, simplify service requests, and enhance operational efficiency. The project includes reorganizing service categories, developing purpose-built request forms, improving request routing and automation, standardizing service descriptions, and aligning forms with the most common support needs. The redesign is intended to reduce misrouted requests, improve data collection at intake, accelerate response times, and provide a more intuitive self-service experience for students and employees while supporting continuous service improvement.
