Chesapeake Welcome Center, Harford Community College‘s newly renovated and expanded building that will provide prospective students, parents and visitors with a central location to begin their “Harford experience,” held a grand opening celebration and ribbon-cutting ceremony the evening of Jan. 21.
The new center replaces the former 32,266-square-foot Chesapeake Center constructed in 1968 that housed administrative offices, a theater and dining services.
The newly renovated and expanded 78,000-square-foot building will house admissions, workforce and continuing education, registration and dual enrollment; provide convenient parking; and become a central entrance point for prospective students, campus tours, enrollment events and registration.
For the first time ever, students can register for credit and noncredit classes in the same location.
In addition, a 10,000-square-foot meeting and conference center will provide space for dinners, banquets, parties, meetings, tradeshows and other events. The building contains several additional features, including a gallery, theater, department offices and more.
