ATLANTIC CAPE COMMUNITY COLLEGE: PREFACEI N S TI TU T I O N A L H I S T O R YIn 1947, the President’s Commission of Higher Education brought the concept of thecommunity-centered school into reality. The community college movement gained momentumthroughout the United States during the 1950s as the student population accelerated its growth inthe years following World War II.In Atlantic County, various groups urged that a college be established in this area with thegoals of providing an educational service to the entire community and discovering and developingindividual talents at low cost with easy access. The Citizens’ Centennial Committee on AdultEducation for Atlantic City was instrumental in stimulating interest in a local college. The efforts ofsuch groups, combined with those of educators, legislators and individuals, resulted in the passageof the New Jersey County College Act, which established county colleges in 1962.Following the passage of the New Jersey County College Act, a special committee of CountyFreeholders and educators prepared a study that showed the need for such an institution inAtlantic County. In December 1963, the New Jersey Department of Education granted approval forthe establishment of Atlantic Community College which became the second community college tobe organized by the state on April 14, 1964.The site for the college was selected on November 19, 1964, and official ground-breakingceremonies for its nine-building complex in Mays Landing were held in November 1966. AtlanticCommunity College opened its doors to students in September 1966 using facilities rented fromAtlantic City High School. In February 1968, the college moved to its present campus on the BlackHorse Pike (U.S. Route 322) in Mays Landing. In the spring of 1982, major work was completed on atwo-year, 7 million expansion project. This project included two new buildings, expanded studentservice facilities, the Academy of Culinary Arts and additional classroom and office space.In that same year, the former Atlantic City Electric Company building, located in AtlanticCity, was purchased by Atlantic County for the college. By 1984, a 4 million renovation projecttransformed the aging building into a beautiful modern facility housing the Casino Career Institute(CCI). CCI was the country’s first gaming school affiliated with an institution of higher education. Asecond major renovation was completed in 2008. This renovation houses the Health ProfessionsInstitute in 9,000 square feet of previously underutilized space. The College’s Atlantic City Campuswas renamed in memory of Atlantic County’s first county executive, Charles D. Worthington, inApril 2001. Mr. Worthington was involved with the College, first as chairperson of its EducationalOpportunity Fund Advisory Board and then as Atlantic County Executive in supporting theestablishment of many college programs and the development of the Atlantic City Campus.The William J. Spangler Library on the Mays Landing campus was expanded and renovatedin 1990, adding a mezzanine level, a computer lab with space for more than 90 personal computers,faculty and administrative offices, small study/meeting rooms, a classroom/meeting room andtyping, video and audio tape rooms.The Academy of Culinary Arts expanded facility, which opened in October 1991, featuresmore than 28,250 square feet of space. The entrance opens to an atrium lobby. The buildingii
ATLANTIC CAPE COMMUNITY COLLEGE: PREFACEprovides teaching kitchens, classrooms, a 90-seat gourmet restaurant, service and storage areas,and administrative and faculty offices.Since 1973, the college has been the main provider of community college education to CapeMay County residents. For many years, Cape May County officials studied ways to bring betterhigher educational opportunities to its residents.In July 1995, the New Jersey Commission on Higher Education declined Cape May County’srequest for an independent college and recommended that it enter into a partnership with aneighboring community college, citing such benefits of a joint college as a larger population base,economies of scale, immediate availability and accreditation of curricula, and elimination ofduplication of efforts and costs.Cape May County requested jointure proposals in February 1997. As a result, on January 1,1999, Atlantic Community College officially became a joint college encompassing Atlantic and CapeMay counties. The Board of Trustees approved a new name for the joint college: Atlantic CapeCommunity College (Atlantic Cape) in February 1999. The Cape May County Campus (CMCC)opened in August 2005. The 68,000-square-foot facility features a brick façade and two wings thathouse an information commons that includes a combination library and computer lab; a 100-seatlecture hall; a cafeteria; and 19 classrooms—including chemistry and biology labs, three academiccomputer labs, two continuing education computer labs and one distance education classroom. Inaddition, Atlantic Cape provides support services facilities, including counseling, testing, tutoringand financial aid offices as well as administrative offices at CMCC.Dr. Peter L.
