North Shore Community College
The 37,000sf addition, designed by Boston architects Shepley Bulfinch, will provide 10 classrooms; a centralized Student Success Center; a testing center; academic technology space; a center for teaching, learning, and assessment; offices; and a boardroom.
Delulis Brothers Construction is the general contractor.
The project has a target opening for the 2017 spring semester.
NSCC President Patricia A. Gentile said, “We look forward to the expanded opportunities this new facility will provide.”
Governor Baker noted that the lack of a skilled workforce is the biggest impediment to economic growth. “The synchronicity of this is something we have to get right, and community colleges have an enormous role to play in the process. I look forward to this campus and the new addition continuing to give students what they need to build careers.”
Speaking at the event, NSCC Student Government Association president Nathaniel Montero, remarked, “This addition represents opportunity that opens doors to a bright future for the students who come here seeking our most powerful tool, education.”
