Working in collaboration, Bergen Community College and RSC expanded upon the college’s existing health profession educational programs through this new teaching center, with a design that reflects its unique identity as both an educational and healthcare facility.

This three-story, 65,000 s.f., $22 million educational building encompasses dental technology, nursing, radiology, surgical technology, respiratory therapy, and medical assistance programs, with a working dental clinic that offers students hands-on instruction and Bergen County residents affordable dental care. Built on a greenfield site, the building also blends in with the existing campus through a compatible palette and materials like brick, cast stone, aluminum, and a glass curtain wall, with clear delineations between classrooms and clinic areas.
