Strategic plan

MCC’s contributions to the community over the past 30 years sprang from the vision, dedication and hard work of many people. MCC’s mission continues to change as the needs of our four-county service area changes.

Every three years we update our strategic plan to assure the College remains focused and strong. Because our future is tied so directly to our community we seek input from community leaders, business and industry professionals, educators, employees and students.

Master plan for campuses

When MCC first opened its doors nearly 30 years ago, some students claimed they attended several classes at the same time. Sounds from one class often drifted into another through the partitioned walls at the Southwest Campus, 132nd and I streets.

Although more sound-proofing eventually helped quiet the classrooms, near capacity enrollments quickly outgrew the campus space. The college added the Fort Omaha Campus in 1975 and South Omaha Campus in 1978-79. Upon completion of the Elkhorn Valley Campus in 1980, the Southwest Campus closed.

Today, the hum of computers carries through many Metro classrooms. And once again, enrollments have grown to near capacity. Fifty percent more students are enrolled at Metro now than 12 years ago. Enrollment this year is expected to grow 6 percent and is expected to grow 40 percent over the next 10 years. Yet, no new building has been built on any of the three main campuses in 20 years.

To better serve the residents of Dodge, Washington, Sarpy and Douglas counties, we have adopted a master facilities plan to guide our growth over the next 15 years. The MCC Master Plan for Campuses is a foundation for the future. It’s a foundation built on much more than bricks and mortar; it starts with ideas, vision and support. We invite you to help us so that the next generation of community college students can look forward to the future and the opportunities created through their hard work and study.

"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams."
