Together We Thrive

The QCC Center is an ambitious renovation and reconstruction of the Athletic Center on QCC’s main campus, built in 1965. The reimagined QCC Center will transform this aging facility into a modern, multi-purpose space that fuels academic innovation, hands-on learning, and student engagement. The renovation will add new classrooms and multipurpose rooms, expand Advanced Manufacturing and Robotics labs and classrooms, and create new space for the Hospitality Program. It also improves ADA access, addressing aged building systems, and adding areas for student life and engagement.

The projected cost of the full renovation is $37 million. QCC was awarded $33.7 million from the Massachusetts Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance to renovate the center. QCC is seeking $3.3 million to close the gap to complete this important project. There are significant naming opportunities in the QCC Center.

The Hebert Auditorium at QCC is a vital resource for students and the community. Home to QCC’s Liberal Arts programs, the auditorium hosts a variety of student theatrical performances, providing a platform for creative expression and hands-on learning in stage production. Beyond the college, Hebert Auditorium serves as a gathering place for dozens of community organizations, public agencies, professional groups, and schools, hosting performances, large meetings, and community events throughout the year.

Improvements to the auditorium are crucial to ensure students learn on state-of-the-art equipment and for attracting larger, professional productions and events to campus and the community. QCC is seeking $2 million in philanthropic and grant funding to support vital infrastructure upgrades. Through a significant gift to the ogether We Thrive Campaign there is an opportunity to rename the Auditorium. 

The Annual Fund is QCC’s most flexible and responsive source of support. It helps students in moments of need, fueling programs that keep students on track, and ensuring that no one is left behind simply because of life’s unexpected challenges. QCC’s Annual Fund provides support for:

• Students facing unforeseen emergency circumstances which might cause them to drop out or extend the time to complete their certificate or degree.
• Critical student services like the Home Plate Food Pantry, tutoring, career advising, mentoring programs, athletics, writing and math labs.
• Professional development to ensure QCC faculty and staff are knowledgeable about the most effectual teaching, learning and student support services.
• Campus infrastructure and critical repairs.

QCC’s Annual Fund is where generosity meets urgency!

QCC’s Dental Hygiene program trains and prepares students for in-demand careers, while providing free dental care to low-income residents across Central Massachusetts. The QCC dental clinic equipment – used daily by students and patients alike – is more than 30 years old. To ensure students are prepared to deliver safe, modern care, outdated training and dental care stations must be updated, including patient chairs, delivery systems, and lighting. With your help, we can continue to provide life-changing education and essential dental care to those who need it most. We invite you to invest in student success and the health and well-being of our entire community.

Together We improve health!
