General Notes

Note

Notes: Broward Community College was established in 1959 by the Florida Legislature to create a broad public community system. Originally named the Junior College of Broward County, the college – with a faculty of 28 – opened its doors to its first class of 701 students in the fall of 1960 under the leadership of President Joe B. Rushing and the governance of the Broward County Board of Public Instruction. Until the college’s first permanent buildings were completed in 1963 (in Davie), students attended classes in the former Naval Air Station Junior High buildings on the western edge of the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. The A. Hugh Adams Central Campus, the college’s first permanent campus, is in Davie. Originally opened with seven buildings on a 152-acre site (the former Forman [Air] Field), the Adams campus is now home to more than 30 buildings including the Buehler Planetarium and Observatory, Institute of Public Safety, an aquatic complex, the Mayer Gymnasium, a health sciences complex and the Ralph R. Bailey Concert Hall. The University/College Library there is a joint research facility owned by BCC with partner Florida Atlantic University. Adams Campus also is home to the CollegeAcademy@BCC a collegiate high school opened in partnership with the Broward County Public Schools in 2001.
