Cornerstone set for new FCC library at Frederick CC
Frederick Community College officials placed the cornerstone for the new Library and Academic Center hours after Maryland Board of Public Works approved 37 million in state funds for the project. The state covers 63 percent of the 5.9 million building and the county commits over 22 million. The 58,000 square foot facility will double library space and add offices and classrooms. It will feature fiber optics, satellite dishes, computer labs and a high tech video studio enabling faculty to email via fiber. The project aims for an January 1995 opening with broader community access to the library online. Local leaders attended the Annapolis meeting despite wind and rain.
