Pima Community College is looking into new facilities in the center of downtown.
The PCC Governing Board has unanimously voted to look for potential locations. PCC has six campuses, including one just north of downtown on Stone Avenue.
Board Chair Dr. Brenda B. Even says the customized workforce education programs at the Community Campus are at maximum capacity. She also says Tucson Mayor Jonathan Rothschild's Education Task Force as well as the Workforce Investment Board have requested that the college offer more workforce education opportunities.

If PCC and Grand Canyon University moves in downtown, it's safe to say we'll see more 10+ floor or even 20+ floor apts/condos in the near horizon. Another good use for the streetcar if you take classes at both UofA and PCC. Ah yes, good times here we come.
EDIT: I can understand all the traffic stops and slow speed the streetcar will experience since it will be in a dense route. A 50 mph streetcar would scare me walking across 4th ave.
