El nuevo edificio STEM estará junto al Centro Joseph Cundari de la universidad, que actualmente se encuentra en una renovación de $ 3 millones, y albergará los programas de enfermería y radiografía CarePoint Health en la universidad comunitaria del condado de Hudson a partir de septiembre de 2015.
El HCCC Cundari Center y el nuevo edificio STEM están ubicados en el campus Journal Square de la universidad, a solo unas pocas cuadras del centro de transporte Journal Square PATH.
“Hudson County Community College (HCCC) is dedicated to providing our students – and
the members of our community – with the education needed for tomorrow’s STEM careers,”
Dr. Gabert said. He noted that the U.S. Department of Labor Statistics, STEM-related
employment is projected to increase to more than 9 million jobs by 2022, and that
the College’s robust STEM curriculum is just one segment of the more than 50 degree
and 15 certificate programs offered at HCCC.
Mr. Netchert said the Cundari Building renovation and STEM Building construction are
part of the HCCC continuing capital expansion plan, which included the opening of
the HCCC six-story, 112,000 square-foot Library Building last September. (That building
also includes computer labs, classrooms, tiered lecture halls, group-study rooms,
a Makerspace, gallery, and 9/11 Monument.) The Facility Master Plan also calls for
the opening of the Abegail Douglas-Johnson Academic Support Services program in the
Library Building this year, and for construction of a new Student Union.
“Este nuevo esfuerzo de construcción, y todos los incluidos en nuestro plan de expansión de capital, requieren el apoyo y la cooperación de nuestros funcionarios electos, el equipo de fideicomisarios de la universidad, la Fundación HCCC, todos en la universidad y nuestros vecinos en la comunidad”, dijo el Sr. Netchert afirmó. Queremos agradecer especialmente a nuestro ejecutivo del condado, Thomas A. DeGise, y a la Junta de Propietarios Elegidos”.
“This new, Hudson County Community College STEM Building is representative of our
mutual commitment to the residents and businesses of Hudson County,” said Hudson County
Executive DeGise. “We know that investing in the education and training of our community
is one of the best ways to ensure the future prosperity of Hudson.”
