North Campus

From left to right, Prof. Peggy Green, trustee Michael Curran, Prof. Carey Witkov, and Prof. Karen Walsh unveil the dedication plaque for the North Campus mathematics and science building on September 27, 1990. The building is dedicated to the memory of Stephen C. Barker, dean of academic affairs on North Campus until his tragic death in a 1989 boating accident.

Members of the Ziegfeld Girls of Florida added a touch of glamour to dedication ceremonies of the BCC/North Regional Library in June 1994.

The BCC/North Regional Library marked the second partnership between the Broward County Library and BCC and is widely used by BCC students and county residents.

Constructed as part of the library project, the Little Learners College is a daycare center for the young children of students, faculty, and staff. The center is also used as a training facility for students in the early childhood education programs.

Groundbreaking ceremonies were held in April 1982 for the BCC/South Regional Library, a partnership between the college and the Broward County Library. The facility was completed in July 1983 and serves the college and the community. The partnership turned out to be so mutually beneficial, the entities partnered again on North Campus.

North Campus, dedicated in February 1972, is pictured early in its development. Building 41, the first building constructed on campus, is the tiny triangle at the lower left center of the picture.

Building 41, used originally as an administration and student services building, was constructed of a series of triangles and was an attention-getter on Coconut Creek Parkway. The building was razed to make way for the Health Science Center II.

The Omni Auditorium, opened in 1980, serves as home to BCC's men's basketball and women's volleyball teams. The multi-purpose facility seats 2,000 and also is used for graduation ceremonies and a variety of civic and cultural events.

On North Campus, the two-story, L-shaped Health Science Center II occupies the space where the original campus building stood. The building was designed by the architectural firm of Rodriguez and Quiroga.
