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]
