Under Dr. Holcombe's leadership, the campuses resumed growing to meet current and future needs.

The transition from Dr. Adams to Dr. Holcombe was smooth and orderly because of Holcombe's history at the college. He had served as an English professor, Dr. Adams's assistant, academic dean, and Central Campus provost before leaving for Brevard Community College.

Dr. Holcombe expanded the college's participation in international education. In this picture, he joins with Ellen Cangi and trustee Joyce Cross at the Center for American Education in Singapore.

The rapid growth of the South Campus necessitated installation of modular classroom buildings. The modular buildings help give South Campus a warm, cozy atmosphere.

Rain canceled some of the outdoor activities at the opening of the Aviation Institute in February 1993, but the hangar, the spacious new complex, and the airplanes kept participants sheltered from the elements.

The Aviation Institute, seen here during construction, provides a large hangar area and four wings for classes. The tarmac allows students to taxi up to their classrooms.

The focal points of the Aviation Institute are the dramatic cross-sectioned fuselage facade and the clean, aerodynamic lines of the building.

South Campus Provost Dr. Carl Crawford and Dr. Holcombe look on as trustees Joyce Cross and Katharine Barry cut the ribbon to open the South Campus bookstore.

Acclaimed artist Dorothy Gillespie receives a bouquet of yellow roses and a kiss from South Campus Provost Dr. Mont Smith at the dedication of the Student Services Building. Visible above their heads is part of Gillespie's 32-panel 1998 work Symphony in Color, one of several of her works on South Campus. Others include Royal Crest, which is inside building 69; Colored Clouds and Ribboned Currents, located outside the teleconference center; and Celestial Arrangement, also found inside the Student Services Building.

Hurricane Andrew came aground in South Florida on August 24, 1992. While much of southern Miami-Dade County was leveled, Broward County damage was moderate. BCC's most dramatic damage was at the Tigertail Watersports Complex, where Australian pines crashed onto a trailer.
