Cordoba proudly joined Long Beach City College (LBCC) and the Jenni Rivera Love Foundation in celebrating the grand opening of the new Jenni Rivera Performing Arts Center, a transformative $102 million, 67,331‑square‑foot facility that elevates arts education for students across the region.
As the Bond Management Team for the Long Beach Community College District (LBCCD), Cordoba provided comprehensive construction and project management services throughout the development of this state‑of‑the‑art complex, funded by local voters through Measures E and LB and the State of California.
The new center now serves as the home for LBCC’s Performing Arts, Music, Dance, and Radio/TV/Broadcasting programs, honoring the legacy of LBCC alumna and global music icon Jenni Rivera.
A Transformative Facility for the Arts
The Jenni Rivera Performing Arts Center features:
- A 263‑seat auditorium
- A flexible black box performance space
- Dance and rehearsal studios
- Broadcast studios, editing bays, and practice rooms
- Advanced audiovisual systems
- An outdoor performance stage
Prominent signage and a dedicated lobby display—including one of Rivera’s iconic gowns—create a lasting tribute to her cultural impact and connection to the Long Beach community.
Cordoba’s bond management team continues to support LBCCD in delivering modern, student‑centered facilities across the district. The Jenni Rivera Performing Arts Center represents one of several major capital projects managed under the LBCCD bond program. “This project reflects the power of collaboration and the commitment of LBCCD to create world‑class learning environments,” said Dexter Dalmacio, CCM, Construction Manager at Córdoba Corporation. “We are honored to help bring forward a facility that not only supports the arts but also celebrates the legacy of an alumna who continues to inspire generations.”
The Rivera family joined LBCC leadership in dedicating the facility, emphasizing its role in uplifting culture, community, and future artists. The center stands as a symbol of possibility for students pursuing creative careers.
