Projections for the future indicate that the College will continue to grow at an unprecedented rate. Architects are designing Tri-C's new campus in the St. Vincent area to accommodate a minimum of 15,000 full- and part-time students. Cuyahoga Community College's first permanent campus facility, along with Cleveland's new state university, will give Greater Cleveland an opportunity to develop a post-high school educational program unsurpassed anywhere in the United States. The Ohio Board of Regents has announced that state and federal appropriations to Cuyahoga Community College for building purposes will total $ 12-million. The 1963 Ohio bond issue provided $4-3/ 4-million of this amount. Another statewide bond issue, May 4, 1965, also with no increase in taxes, allots the remaining $7-1/4-million. In that same election, the College will ask the voters of Cuyahoga County to pass a 6/10ths of a mill levy approving the county's share of the College's building needs. Cuyahoga Community College has more than fulfilled the expectation of advocates who foresaw its need here as long ago as 1953. A faculty of highly qualified and competent instructors continues to enlargethousands of students are inquiring about future admission-and the community to date has warmly endorsed the College with support of the building campaign, approval of an operating levy, and many generous donations to the Cuyahoga Community College Loan and Scholarship Funds.
