Genesee Community College (GCC) is a public community college with its main campus in Town of Batavia, New York, United States (near the city of Batavia).
It has campus centers in Albion, Medina, Warsaw, Dansville, Arcade, Lima (previously Lakeville), New York. Thus, the college covers areas not only inside of Genesee County but also in Orleans County, Livingston County and Wyoming County. This two-year college also offers housing facilities to out-of-area students, although the school is attended primarily by commuters. Additionally, GCC offers some degree and certificate programs online.
History
Genesee Community College was originally founded in 1966 as part of the State University of New York system.[3] On September 27, 1967, Genesee Community College officially opened classes to full and part-time students.[4] In January 1972, Genesee Community College relocated to its current permanent address on One College Road in the town of Batavia.[4]
In 1991, GCC would see expansion with the addition of the Stuart Steiner Theatre, which houses a theater and stage, as well as expanded classrooms for the various arts programs.[4] In 2000, the Conable Technology Building was added to the main campus facilities, a two-story 42,000-square-foot (3,900 m2) annex that is the center for most of GCC's technological programs and apparatus.[4] In January 2006, GCC expanded again, adding the Wolcott J. Humphrey III Student Union, a central location for student affairs and organizations.[4]
In February 2009, the plans for another campus center in Lima was announced, which will replace the Lakeville satellite campus [5] and in June 2009, construction of the campus was completed. The 9,000-square-foot (840 m2) campus features two modern computer labs and a state-of-the-art science lab, five to seven classrooms, a lobby and reception area, as well as faculty, staff, advisor, and administrative offices.[6]
