Wednesday, November 15, 2006
What used to be a parking lot is now an amazing environment for learning across six acres of campus at Harper College (Palatine, Ill.).
Area voters challenged Harper with a referendum to build learning facilities for careers of the future. Voters got that in the $88.8 million Avanté, Center for Science, Health Careers and Emerging Technologies. Avanté houses 10 major academic programs including nursing, dental hygiene, medical imaging, cardiac care, electronics, computer science, biology and chemistry. The center's 400 rooms include: 27 classrooms; nine lecture halls; 38 laboratories; and 70 faculty and staff offices.
The name Avanté implies "advancement" or "moving forward." The center creates an environment to advance teaching and learning in the sciences, technology and health care for current and future generations. See more about Avanté.
