Capital Project Description: Five years have passed since the original proposal for this project was developed to renovate the Athletics Center constructed in 1969 and to construct a modest addition to accommodate academic needs. Since that time, the has world experienced a pandemic, which has changed education as we know it. As a result, it is increasingly clear that colleges and universities must seek ways to support the emotional and mental needs of students, in order for students to be successful in the classroom. Over the past year, FCC has bolstered existing health services to students and developed several new initiatives in this area. FCC is significantly lacking facilities and space for programming to address this vital need for students. As part of the required master planning effort, in 2024-2029 the Trustees desire to redefine the original scope of the Athletic Center project to address several categories of space and program needs identified. The newly named Wellness Center Addition/Renovation project will provide the additional academic space that was part of the original project, it will also seek to restore the academic program space lost from the Linganore Hall project, due to rising costs of construction during and after the pandemic. In addition, the project will provide space for programming and activities to support the well-being of our students and create successful scholars. An updated Facility Program Part I and Part II for this project will be established as part of the College ten-year Facilities Master Plan update in spring 2023.
