Miami Dade College to Break Ground on New Student Support Center Building
Miami, August 18, 2010 - To better serve its growing community, Miami Dade College’s (MDC) Wolfson Campus will soon be home to a new Student Support Center building. College officials will hold groundbreaking ceremony at 11 a.m. on Monday, August 30, 2010.
The Student Support Center will house classrooms and labs, student life areas, a state-of-the-art wellness center, a food court, and the new home for the Lynn and Louis Wolfson II Florida Moving Image Archives.
The increase in classrooms and labs will allow the Wolfson Campus to meet the growing demands of this fast-growing urban campus and at the same time continue offering an accessible, affordable, high-quality education to its students, while the improved student life facilities will help provide students with new opportunities for cultural enrichment and community involvement. The campus’ growing population has raised the demand for a larger wellness center and more food options. Finally, the Lynn and Louis Wolfson II Florida Moving Image Archives, which have temporarily been housed at the Miami-Dade County public library in downtown Miami, will receive permanent housing in the new building.
Groundbreaking of the new Student Support Center
- WHEN: Monday, Aug. 30, 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
