40-year-old facility at Howard Community College receives $19 million facelift
FromThe Columbia Flier: Leaders at Howard Community College in Columbia, Md., describe the school’s renovated library as the "new and improved hub" of the college. The renovations cost $19 million and took three years to complete. The 40-year-old building, originally called the Learning Resources Center, was the first to be built at the college and, at that time, housed the entire college operation. The roughly 75,000-square-foot building now includes a library with 18 study/work areas; 12 information technology classrooms of various sizes; laboratories for computers, engineering, anatomy and physiology, and information literacy; a wellness center; cultural arts center; international education office and more than 50 offices.
