FLCC will lease part of Silver Hill Park Monday evening, the Finger Lakes Community College Board of Trustees authorized the College to enter into an agreement with Silver Hill Associates, LLC. The College will lease a portion of the north side of the Technology Park on Route 88 South, for an FLCC Newark Extension Center. The new site will replace the current Newark location at 111 Drumlin Court as the primary FLCC Extension Center in Wayne County. 'We've outgrown our current facility in Wayne County,' said Dr. Daniel T. Hayes, FLCC president. 'We are excited to configure the new space to better serve our current instructional needs. This affords us the opportunity to expand our course offerings in the region.' Since 1972, FLCC has offered courses in Wayne County, most recently at the former Newark Developmental Center, which provides 7500 square feet of usable space. The 15-year lease of the Newark Silver Hill site will provide more than double the square footage of usable space. With a cost to the College of approximately $234,000 for the first two years, the lease will take effect August 1, 2006. The College anticipates offering classes at the new Newark Extension Center in the fall 2006 semester. Currently, the Newark Extension Center offers primarily introductory courses for most academic programs. Approximately 350 students take courses at that location. Students may start certain degree programs or take classes without a specific degree in mind at the Newark Extension Center. The Center will house about 10 classrooms, one computer lab, office space, an academic support center, student common space and includes additional space for future expansion. Copyright
