Academic Center Renovation
Growth projections of 22% for fall 2005 provided the impetus for renovation which provided new classroom space for the campus. Work was begun in the Academic Center in early May . The existing, small fourth floor rooms were reconfigured into two large classrooms and a new computer teaching lab. 

Fall 2005 enrollment: 851.
