Where is mdc north campus

The north and south campuses are a built-experiment in organizing buildings around the spaces in which Candela believed anything could happen. The North Campus exploits the beauty and boldness of Brutalism to give each building an individual identity. Here, pre-cast concrete panels were selected for their resistance to the sometimes harsh weather of South Florida: some are marked with rough finishes remnants of formwork and others are finished delicately in small stones, coral rock, or glass tiles.

The Brutalist campus buildings are surrounded by lush South Florida flora that provides contrast to the unifying concrete, and vast, grass-covered courtyards that serve as spaces for students to gather. As is the case with many commuter schools, the campus is surrounded by a ring of parking lots and dotted with parking garages.

Candela believed the campus buildings and the spaces between them were equally important. The large-scale buildings, designed at the time to accommodate 10, students, are connected by elevated sidewalks and bridges that offer constant shade and cover from rain while also creating community spaces. Students find no shortage of places to socialize, study, or relax, including a serene lake accessed by lush walking paths.

Miami-Dade College has continued to expand to include seven campuses. The North Campus offers specialized training programs for firefighters, emergency medical technicians, and police officers. Read, Gray. Shulman, Glendale: Balcony Press, Vazquez, Jose.
