Initially dedicated in April 1971, the Academic Center is a multi-level educational complex that features 11 classrooms, the 300-seat Bly Lecture Hall, five seminar rooms, 24 laboratories, a computer center, five specialized teaching facilities, and 55 faculty offices.

Promoting educational excellence, innovation, and ethical leadership, the College offers distinctive learning opportunities for students and serves as an asset for the region’s social, economic, and educational development.

Renovation of the Daniel and Dorothy Spence Academic Center is a multi-phased project that will continue over the next several years.
