FAU Pres. Anthony Catanese (left), BCC Central Campus Provost Glen Rose, and BCC Pres. Willis Holcombe are all smiles at groundbreaking ceremonies for the joint library on Central Campus on April 26, 1994.

The $14.5 million FAU/BCC University/College Library expanded the old library's holdings by more than 100,000 volumes, expanded its physical size from 37,000 square feet to 112,000, and added sophisticated technological capabilities to benefit students.

Not all of the constructions on BCC's campuses have been BCC buildings. Here, Dr. Holcombe helps with groundbreaking for Florida Atlantic University's Davie Classroom Building II on Central Campus. Joining him, from left to right, are state senator Ken Jenne, Dr. Catanese, and state senator Howard Forman. The FAU Liberal Arts Building is another example of university's presence on central campus.

This is a photo of the 26,000 square-foot interior of the Pines Center under construction. The building was designed to provide state-of-the-art technological instructional opportunities to students. It contains two completely computerized multimedia classrooms and teleconference facilities. The Academic Village is constructed on a 77-acre campus built in the Jeffersonian quadrangle mode of the University of Virginia.

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.

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.

Once complete, the BCC and FAU buildings joined seamlessly. The two institutions have gone on to successfully partner on other projects.

The Downtown Center sits in the heart of Fort Lauderdale. The larger building in the foreground is the Fort Lauderdale News building. Next to it is the Governor's Club Hotel, razed to provide the site for the joint FAU/BCC Higher Education Center, which was dedicated in 2001.

BCC's presence in Hollywood was established in 1970 at the Hollywood Center, at 3601 Johnson Street, in a building leased from next-door neighbor Memorial Hospital.
