Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: As seen in August 2022 from near the main entrance on Saunders Settlement Road, this 463,540-square-foot complex makes up the core of the campus of Niagara County Community College in the town of Cambria, New York. Designed in a striking Modernist style by the Cannon Partnership, the complex comprises eight interconnected buildings, three of which are visible here: the Ernest Notar Administration building (far left), the Henrietta G. Lewis Library (just left of flagpole), and the Humanities & Social Sciences Building (right). The impetus for the founding of NCCC came in 1962, when it was announced that due to capacity constraints, the Erie County Technical Institute (later renamed Erie Community College and now known as SUNY Erie), which had been the institution of choice for residents of adjacent Niagara County who sought associate or technical degrees, would soon close its doors to students from outside the county. It was in November of that year when the Niagara County legislature thus voted to finance an analogous school of their own, and the operation was up and running for the fall semester of the following year. Initially, classes were held in a scattering of locations around the City of Niagara Falls (most notably in a disused portion of Nabisco's Shredded Wheat factory complex on Buffalo Avenue), but that arrangement - which anyway was always intended to be temporary - was stymied by a tenfold increase in enrollment over the next decade. By the time the three-year, $24.7 million construction process began on the school's present 287-acre campus, 3,400 full- and part-time students attended the college (that number today is about 5,000). The gala grand opening celebration in 1973 attracted 14,000 visitors over three days and featured appearances by college president Dr. Ernest Notar, New York State Lieutenant Governor Malcolm Wilson, Niagara County Legislature chairman J. Paul Hewitt, recently retired State Senator Earl W. Brydges, and others. NCCC today offers a selection of more than 50 degree and certification programs focusing especially on the health care, hospitality, and business fields. |
