the facility in the city. In 2008, the building renovated of space to add the Health Professionals Institute. Cape May County Campus The Cape May County Campus is a facility that has a library, cafeteria, lecture hall, and 19 classrooms, including six computer labs. There are two three-story wings, joined by an open two-story entranceway. There are 18 full-time professors worked alongside adjuncts on the campus. The campus has 300 parking spots, and is linked to local mass transportation by NJ Transit Bus Route 552. The Cape May facility typically accounted for about 21% of the college's overall enrollment. After Cape May was added to Atlantic Community College, a Site Assessment Task Force identified 19 potential locations for a permanent campus. In May 1999, the committee selected a site in Cape May Court House, located on fairground land obtained in the 1970s that also housed the Rutgers Cooperative Extension Service, as well as 4-H Foundation. The location was close to regional roadways, other educational facilities, and commercial areas. In June 1999, the college chose a consortium of architects to design the new facility: Duca/Huder & Kumlin, and Garrison Architects. The initial opening date was projected for Fall 2001, with a projected cost of $10 million. The New Jersey Council of Community Colleges provided $7.5 million toward the new building, and the Cape May County Board of Freeholders secured a $12 million loan for the project. The project was halted due to opposition from neighbors, believing the college would negatively impact their livelihood, as well as environmental groups. Two endangered species – the Cope's gray tree frog and the Tiger salamander – were both located on the project site, as were two threatened species – red-headed woodpecker and the barred owl. The college developed a plan to protect the animals by redesigning the building, obstructing animal access to roads, planting additional trees, building nest boxes, and re-purposing the water management system as breeding sights. Permits for sewage extension and coastal building also delayed the project. Under the Coastal Area Facility Review Act, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection approved the project in February 2002 with restrictions; due to the presence of endangered species and location in a coastal zone, the agency banned future development on 18 of the 29 acre site.
