About Hostos >
The
Hostos Campus
Hostos Community College has been involved in
the implementation of its Master Plan since 1986. This plan
consists of major construction to expand and improve the
educational programs and services the College provides to its
students and the community. Some of this expansion was
accomplished with the completion of the Allied Health building
in 1990, the East Academic Complex in 1994 and Savoy Manor in
1997.
Hostos currently occupies several facilities
at 149th Street and the Grand Concourse in the Bronx. One of
these buildings, at 475 Grand Concourse, houses the Dental
Hygiene Program, the Hostos-Lincoln Academy High School, a
dental clinic, and several chemistry and biology laboratories,
as well as administrative offices and attendant classrooms.
Adjoining and integrated with the 475 Grand
Concourse facility is the Shirley J.
Hinds Allied Health and Science Complex. Dedicated in December
1990, this addition received several architectural awards. The
structure contains a modern library with an online bibliographic
system, and state-of-the-art laboratories for the college's
programs in Radiologic Technology, Chemistry, Biology, Physics,
and Medical Laboratory Technology. Students in the Allied Health
programs also avail themselves of clinical space at hospitals
and clinics that are affiliated with these programs. The Hostos
Children's Center, licensed by the State of New York, is also
located in this building and has recently undergone a renovation
that doubled its capacity to 120 children.
The building at 500 Grand Concourse contains
classrooms, academic and administrative offices, and the
administrative computing center. This facility is currently
undergoing a phased renovation, which began in the summer of
2003.
Phase I of the 500 Grand Concourse building
will include the first floor and the Plaza, located between the
500 building and the East Academic Complex. Renovation will
include the construction of a new 24-chair Dental Hygiene
Patient Care facility along with other upgrades to the
building's infrastructure. Completion of Phase I will be summer
2004.
The East Academic Complex building, which
opened in the Fall of 1994, comprises over 279,000 square feet
and adjoins the 500 Grand Concourse facility. This building
houses the Business and Accounting, Data Processing and Office
Administration and Technology programs; the Humanities
Department's programs in Africana Studies, Latin American and
Caribbean Studies, Modern Languages, and Visual and Performing
Arts programs; Physical Education; and numerous student
organizations and club offices. In addition, the facility
contains ten state-of-the-art microcomputing labs, art and dance
studios, a gymnasium, exercise and fitness centers, and a
collegiate-size swimming pool. There are also two theaters-the
Main Theater and the Hostos Repertory Theater-with 950 and 350
seats, respectively, a museum-grade art gallery, and a modern
college bookstore. A pedestrian bridge spanning the Grand
Concourse connects the East Academic Complex to the Allied
Health building.
The most recent addition to the campus is the
Savoy Manor building, which was occupied in 1997. This building,
located at 120 East 149th Street, is greater than 43,000 square
feet in size and houses the offices of the Registrar, Bursar,
Financial Aid, Business Office, Admissions & Recruitment, and
Counseling.
