Where Education and Instruction Yield Community Benefits
Bergen Community College Health Professions Integrated Teaching Center
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.
