MERCED, Calif. (KFSN) -- Students who return to Merced College in the fall will see some new resources and campus upgrades.

The college's board approved a list of projects yesterday that will expand Wi-Fi availability and classroom technology.

A new welcome center, a diversity support center, plus an instructional innovation area are also part of the expansion plan.

More than $12 million in COVID-19 relief money, helped fund the projects.
