ELIZABETH CAMPUS EXPANSION
Of the more noteworthy accomplishments
that occurred during the 2009 fiscal year
was the completion of the Elizabeth I.
Kellogg Building on the Elizabeth campus.
A long awaited answer to address continued
growth and future needs for the Elizabeth
campus, the structure, with generous
funding and support from the Union County
Board of Chosen Freeholders, the Union
County Improvement Authority, and the
State of New Jersey, was completed in the
summer of 2009. The new 132,000 square
foot, five-story, building houses a Library/Information
Commons, 33 classrooms, 14
computer laboratories, faculty offices, and
dining facilities.
The Thomas H. Brown Center for Business
and Educational Advancement is located on
the fifth floor of the Kellogg Building. The
Center provides office suites for use as economic
development offices by various city, county, and state
agencies. It will also provide state-of-the-art facilities to host
key training sessions and conferences for organizations
throughout the county. The office of customized training, the
Industry Business Institute (IBI) is housed there. In addition, the
Trinitas School of Nursing, recently designated as a Center of
Excellence, is on the third floor of the Kellogg Building. This
cooperative nursing program, conducted jointly with Union
County College, is ranked nationally as the second largest
nursing school in the country and is the largest provider of
nursing education in New Jersey. This program is equipped
