History

Founding

In 1962, a New Jersey State law enabled the establishment of colleges by counties. Camden County created a college board in 1964 and a voter referendum, in 1965, approved the creation of a county college. In 1966, the Freeholders of Camden County charged Harry Benn, then secretary of the Camden County College Board, and a small commission to find land capable of maintaining a college in the central part of the county. The Salvatorian Fathers, who ran the Mother of the Savior Seminary, were looking to sell the land and close down the facility.[1] Camden County College was established in 1967 on 320 acres (1.3 km2) of land which had belonged to the Mother of the Savior Seminary.

Three Seminary buildings, Roosevelt, Wilson and Jefferson halls, are still in use. The Three buildings form an "U" shape with a small central courtyard. The 1969 graduation commencement took place in the courtyard of the three major buildings. Currently, a small memorial to the Mother of the Savior Seminary resides in that courtyard. In 1967, Wilson Hall served as an administrative center, library, cafeteria and activity room. Jefferson Hall served as the main Science Building. Originally, there was a pond and creek on campus which later included a series of waterfalls, lounge beaches, and pedestrian walks.[2]

Otto R. Mauke was chosen to be the first president of the college in March 1967 and his staff moved into Washington Hall in June 1967. First Day of classes for the college was on September 25, 1967 only six months from the founding of the college.

Founded in 1967, Camden County College was composed of one campus with seven academic programs and a handful of buildings. Three original buildings are still in use. The original enrollment was less than 500 students. In 1969, the college opened its first campus in Camden City. In 1970, the college began its first multimillion-dollar expansion. The nine million dollar (1969 dollars) project constructed new buildings, all of which are still in use, including Madison Hall, Taft Hall, Wolverton Library, the Community Center, the Papiano Gymnasium, and Truman Hall.

During the 1970s, the Blackwood campus added several more buildings and programs. The Camden City campus moved several times to larger locations.

In 1989, the Blackwood campus underwent another round of expansion. The college added a manufacturing technology building, a Laser Institute building, and a Child Care center. Also in 1989 a new campus, a multistory tower, began construction in Camden City.

In 2000, the Rohrer Center was opened in Cherry Hill, NJ, creating the third campus for the college. In 2004, a second building was added to the Camden City Campus. In 2005, the county made an $83 million investment, known as the Freeholder Initiative, in order to update and renovate the college campuses, representing the largest investment in the college since its founding. Since 2005 renovation has modernized the Blackwood campus. A "ring road" was constructed to allow for better traffic flow and parking, Madison Hall was renovated to allow for modern technology and equipment, the Madison Connector was built as a public space, a new science building was constructed, Taft Hall will be renovated, new "green" initiatives have been started in order to make the campus more energy efficient.

In 2011, The Technical Institute of Camden County and the Regional Emergency Training Center were incorporated into the College, bringing all of Camden County's educational services under one organization.

In 1967 the college began with less than 500 students. The first graduating class was 172 students in 1969. Enrollment expanded, by 2011, to over 15,000 students and 1,800 graduates.

Recent additions

The Madison Connector Building is a new construction project begun simultaneously with the renovation of Madison Hall. The Connector is a three story breezeway-office-classroom facility linking Madison Hall with the College Community Center. It features a dramatic curved exterior. The building is 32,000 square feet (3,000 m2) and represented the first new construction on campus since the early 1990s. Madison Connector contains a lecture theater, an amphitheater, high-tech classrooms and office spaces. Innovative “smart” technologies fill the building, providing state-of-the-art wireless and hard-wired teaching spaces and presentation capabilities. The most visually appealing part of the Madison Connector is the Atrium; a three story open space paneled, on three sides, by tall glass walls allowing the Atrium to be sunlit throughout the day. As such, it has become a gathering space for students wishing to study in a more open environment. Construction was begun in 2005 and completed in Fall of 2008.
The Madison Connector building houses Civic Hall and The Forum – two high-technology meeting/conference/lecture spaces which serve as the hub for the presentations given by the Center for Civic Leadership and Responsibility. Civic Hall is a 244 stadium seat lecture hall containing a full presentation room in the back and multiple cameras and projectors. The Forum is a 40-seat amphitheater built to be reminiscent of both the Roman Forum and Medieval Observation Classrooms. The Forum is also outfitted with modern presentation equipment.
The new science building is a $30 million capital project. It had its groundbreaking on October 26, 2010 and had its dedication on April 12, 2013.[4] College President Raymond Yannuzzi gave the opening remarks and was followed by honored guests including several members of the Camden County Board of Freeholders and the College Board of Trustees and other guests including U.S. Representative Robert E.

Camden City Campus, Camden Technology Center

Located in Camden City at the nexus of Broadway and Cooper Street, Camden County College has built two facilities. Camden County College opened a campus in Camden City in 1969 when it created an evening program for citizens who had not finished high school. In 1970 a new set of classrooms and offices was opened at Carmen Street in Camden City. In 1973, the Camden City campus expanded to a new building at 319 Cooper Street. In 1978, the Camden City campus expanded again through a move to a new facility located at Seventh and Cooper streets. This remained the location of the city campus until 1991 when the campus was moved to its current location, at the corner of Broadway and Cooper streets, and is known as College Hall.

College Hall is a five story, fifty thousand sq. foot building. It houses liberal arts classrooms, an art room, a science laboratory, a child care center, computer rooms, and offices for student services.

In 2004, the Camden Technology Center (CTC) opened across the street from College Hall. The CTC is a US$19.6 million, 278,000-square-foot (25,800 m2) facility built as part of the Camden Rehabilitation and Economic Recovery Act. The purpose of the facility is to create a space for the teaching and learning of technology-driven careers in health, business and technology fields. Amenities include technologically “smart” learning spaces, an “electronic village” computer lab, fully wired conference rooms, a 621-space parking garage and a University District Bookstore. The 13,500-square-foot (1,250 m2) bookstore is open to the public, includes an internet cafe, and services the book requirements of the schools in the Camden University District including Rutgers–Camden and Rowan University. In 2012 a Starbucks coffeeshop opened in the bookstore making it the only Starbucks in downtown Camden.

The Camden City campus services more than two thousand students per semester – about 14% of the Camden County College student population.

Students at the Camden City Campus also have access to the Paul Robeson Library of the Rutgers University-Camden.

William G. Rohrer Campus in Cherry Hill

The Rohrer Campus is Camden County College's third campus location. The two story building is located at the corner of Route 70 and Springdale Road in Cherry Hill, New Jersey on a 11-acre (45,000 m2) site. In 1997 the Rohrer Charitable Foundation awarded a million dollar grant to the college in order to build an advanced technology training campus for Continuing Education students. The campus was opened on April 19, 2000.

Rohrer Campus, Main Building, May 2012

The campus provides a high-tech learning environment. A high proportion of classrooms are computer labs, the entire campus has wireless internet, every classroom has a digital projector and computer workstation for the lecturer (and some classrooms have printing capabilities.) The E-Library has 25 workstations allowing access to the College's 50,000+ collection of e-books (and contains technical manuals for Continuing Education courses). The Campus also contains a Barnes and Noble mini-bookstore to provide textbooks, refreshments, and other items to students. On the first floor, a cyber cafe provides internet workstations and several large tables allowing students to gather for study sessions or professors to hold office hours.

The Rohrer Campus has experienced rapid growth. When it opened only 200 students took classes in the building. The number increased to nearly 1,800 students by the Spring 2010 semester. Despite its smaller size compared to the Blackwood and Camden City campuses, students can take all the classes necessary to complete several associate degree programs at the campus. These include degrees in business administration, pre-nursing, psychology, elementary/secondary education, liberal arts and English. Students taking classes at the Rohrer Campus can also take classes at any of the Camden County College campuses.

On May 1, 2010, the College celebrated the tenth anniversary of the opening of the building. During the reception a new portrait of William Rohrer was unveiled and continues to hang in the main hall of the campus building.

Technical Institute and Regional Emergency Training Center

Camden County College Technical Institute in Sicklerville

Opened in 1969, The Camden County Technical Schools provided vocational, emergency and career retraining services and education. On 1 July 2012, several different services of Camden County (including the Police Academy, the Firefighter Academy, EMT training, and adult vocational training)were consolidated under the direction of Camden County College unifying all post-secondary education in Camden County under Camden County College management.[6] The name was consequently changed to the Technical Institute at Camden County College. This consolidation added two locations to Camden County College. The Technical Institute is located in Sicklerville, NJ while the Emergency Training facility is located in Blackwood, NJ (separate location from the Main Blackwood campus).

Culinary Institute students gain proficiency in restaurant operations. During the spring semester, students are given the opportunity to gain real world experience by participating in the “Back Door Café” Restaurant, which is open to the public Thursday evenings at the Sicklerville location.
