History

十大外围app于6月29日正式成立, 1964 when the citizens of Monroe County voted by a nearly two-to-one margin to establish a community college district. Dr. MCCC的第一任校长罗纳德·坎贝尔(Ronald Campbell)肩负着从零开始创建一所社区学院的重任. 早在计票之前，MCCC的种子就已经埋下了, and the hard work of cultivating and nurturing the institution went on long after and continues to the present day. 

MCCC received accreditation from the North Central Association of College and Secondary Schools in 1972. Throughout the 1970s and into the 1980s, 为许多新的学术项目制定了课程, including environmental technology, nursing, labor studies, automotive service, materials management, respiratory therapy, radiologic technology, computer operations, welding technology, culinary skills and management, word processing, child care technology and social work.  这所大学的体育运动因运动员和教练的出色表现而蓬勃发展. From its beginning in 1966, MCCC哈士奇队的运动项目非常成功, 但由于预算和设备的限制，该项目于1980年搁置.

营运资金证明是该地区所关切的问题, 在新校区运行一年后, 维持财政偿付能力和经营一流大学的能力受到质疑.   1980年，校务委员会决定第13次要求选民增加里程. This time the college’s request passed, and since that pivotal day on August 5, 1980, the college has enjoyed financial stability.

1986年1月1日，学院第二任校长杰拉尔德. Welch took office.  In his first year as president, Welch appointed a committee of faculty members and administrators to develop a new governing system, and the result was a shared governance system that consisted of a series of standing committees on which faculty members could serve. 1988年，主校区开始了一项重大的建设和改造工程. The construction project on the south end of the Student Services/Administration Building added Corporate and Community Services offices, a Financial Aid Office, a conference center, art classroom, faculty offices, staff lounge, student commons, 烹饪技能讲座/示范实验室和教学餐厅.  进一步的翻新包括一个材料测试实验室, grinding booths, 以及东部科技大楼的机器人和支持设备实验室.  An electronics lab/classroom, circuit construction room, printed circuit-board construction room, 西部科技大楼增设了微机和电机控制实验室.  这些建筑和整修项目于1990年完成.

也是在1990年，董事会批准在南县地区建造一所大学设施.  Responding to the college’s need, Paul Whitman, a south county entrepreneur, 捐赠了位于坦普瑞斯路易斯大道的10英亩土地.  Opened to students in September 1991, the Whitman Center houses 10 classrooms, including the Business Learning Lab, a computer classroom, a multipurpose lab, a student lounge and administrative offices. That same year, MCCC entered into an agreement with Siena Heights University to offer entire baccalaureate programs at the Raisinville location, allowing students to earn a bachelor’s degree in a variety of areas without ever having to leave the MCCC campus.

Faced with increasing drainage problems, the college began working with landscape architects in the fall of 1990 on a topographical makeover of the Main Campus. Work began in May 1991 on this makeover, 包括在科技大楼南面建造一个可容纳80辆车的停车场, expanding the drainage system, excavating a retention pond, 并将校园中心区域的土地重新塑造成风景如画的中央购物中心. The project was completed in August 1991.

In 1997, MCCC’s Health Education Building opened.  The 50,700平方英尺的设施包括一个多功能厅, a dance-aerobics room, a fitness center, nursing and respiratory therapy labs, classrooms, a CPR lab, a child care center and faculty offices. 同样在1997年，校董会在十大外围app建立了基金会.  授权基金会合法成立, 董事会赋予它筹集资金的权力和手段.

1999年，学院收到了Shirley a .捐赠的100万美元. Meyer to establish the Richard M. and Shirley A. Meyer Endowment for the Arts.  The funds were to be used for construction of a performing arts center and enhancement of the cultural arts programming at the college.

2000年5月20日，学院的第三任校长奥黛丽. Warrick, took office.  1999-2000学年期间，MCCC的图书馆进行了全面的重新设计.  During the 2000-2001 academic year, more major renovation projects were completed, 比如对酒窖(学生休息室)的翻新, 安装新的校园紧急报警系统, and completion of renovations to the library, the welding lab (ventilation) and the auto lab – which became the new Regional Computer Technology Center.

In June 2002, 商业培训和表演艺术教学中心开始建设.  The 53,000-square-foot facility was designed for versatile and continuous use to meet the emerging needs of business and industry, the community and the local economy.  In addition, MCCC initiated Phase I of the science lab renovations — two chemistry labs in the Life Sciences Building.

2003年8月1日，学院的第四任院长. David E. Nixon, took office. In July 2004, to recognize a $2 million contribution toward the construction of Instructional Center for Business Training and the Performing Arts, 校董会正式命名为La-Z-Boy中心.  This generous gift by the La-Z-Boy Foundation and the La-Z-Boy family completed The Foundation at Monroe County Community College’s Capital Campaign – Realizing the Vision.  为La-Z-Boy中心筹款的活动总共筹集了近4美元.400万美元，比最初300万美元的目标高出45%以上. 除了通过资本运动筹集的资金, 该学院承诺从普通基金中拿出300万美元, 密歇根州提供了600万美元，以全额资助这个价值1200万美元的设施.

La-Z-Boy中心和Meyer剧院于2004年10月5日正式开放. 该建筑的中心是一个550个座位的表演空间(Richard M. and Shirley A. Meyer Theater).  该设施包括企业培训设施, a music rehearsal room, a scene shop, the Board Room and a large atrium.   

In the fall of 2003, renovations to two chemistry labs were completed, 第二期科学实验室改造(两个生物实验室), which began in May 2004, was completed.  The physics and physical science classroom and laboratories (Phase III) were renovated in the summer of 2005. This included the anatomy and physiology labs, the physical and geosciences labs, and the physics lab.  科学实验室的第四阶段翻修于2006年夏天进行, with work being done on two general-purpose labs.   In April 2011, officials cut the ceremonial ribbon to mark the completion of a major Detroit Edison solar array on the MCCC Main Campus.  职业技术中心的建设于2013年秋季完成. The $17 million, $60,000 square foot facility provides infrastructure required to deliver instruction and skills necessary to secure high-growth, 应用科学和工程技术领域的高要求和高薪工作.  密歇根州资助了CTC一半的建设费用, and the college funded the other half through existing funds and a capital campaign – “Realizing the Vision: Powering the Workforce of Tomorrow" – in support of the facility.  Among the major gifts were a $1 million donation from the DTE Energy Foundation (which will also be used to promote diversity at the college) and a $500,000 donation from the La-Z-Boy Foundation.
