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.

The Broward County Commission in March 1982 leased to the college the vacant auto inspection station on Pembroke Road at University Drive for the aviation institute. BCC's Aviation Maintenance Technology program was the first public post-secondary program in the state. The program opened its doors in the fall term of 1982 to a class of 65. At the ribbon-cutting ceremonies, from left to right, Dr. Adams, trustees Elinor Wilkov, Charles Lantz, and Margaret Roach joined with Broward County Commissioner Marcia Beach to carry out their ceremonial duties.
