The Omni, shown just after its completion in 1980, is home to the BCC men's basketball team and the women's volleyball team and is used for theatrical productions, graduations, and cultural events. The facility seats 2,000.

Professors Peggy Green (left) and Jeanette Madea (right) receive a donation from Richard Rowe, employee relations administrator for Allied Signal, the "Science 4 Kids" program. Started in 1981, the program incorporates hands-on experiments for Broward County elementary students at the North and South campuses.

Dr. Joe Rushing returned to BCC as the commencement speaker. There, he was reunited with two physical education professors who had served on his faculty. From left to right are Rex Brumley, Dr. Rushing, Alton "Andy" Andrews, and Dr. Holcombe.

"Fred Flinstone" Holcombe and "Barney Rubble" George Young laughed it up with 30-year honorees Dr. John Pawlowski (left) and Dr. Bill Porterfield in the 1993 Colleague Recognition Day skit "Two Million Years BCC."

The student orchestra performs the classics al fresco on the North Campus at the annual winter fair.

The distinctive architecture and landscape design give the campus flexibility. Students can enjoy being out in the fresh air and still have space to gather in cozy nooks to study or converse.

BCC and Broward County teamed up to open the North Campus Outreach Center in September of 1987. The college also opened the Carver Ranches Outreach Facility in Hollywood and a third facility on Sistrunk Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale. They were designed to provide access to college and social service agencies, but did not produce the results the partners had hoped to achieve.

In 1992, the Tigertail Watersports Center joined with the Center for Business and Industry to establish the Ropes Challenge Course. The course is a series of exercises that help build teamwork and leadership skills as small groups work collaboratively to conquer specific tasks.

The Tigertail Center is utilized for other purposes, too. Here students practice safely handling hazardous waste materials.
