NEW HARRISON CENTER TO EXPAND REACH IN NORTH CITY
![]()
St. Louis Community Colleges William J. Harrison Northside Education Center was established in 1994 to promote accessibility to higher and continuing education in the North St. Louis community. Located at 4666 Natural Bridge Road in the old Julia Davis Library building, the center has fulfilled this mission and has grown over the past decade; more than 6,000 students per year benefit from the center and its outreach programs. But the lack of classroom space and parking is limiting academic delivery.
St. Louis Community College is committed to the future growth of the center. The college is proposing construction of a 30,000-square-foot facility along Cass Avenue adjacent to Vashon High School and near the Clyde C. Miller Academy in the JeffVanderLou Neighborhood.
The projected cost for the new Harrison Center is $10 million. The Anheuser-Busch Foundation has pledged $300,000, payable over three years, to the St. Louis Community College Foundation to support construction of the center.
The new facility will house four general-purpose classrooms, laboratory space, administrative offices, and common areas for students, staff and community members as well as parking. Kennedy Associates Inc. is the college’s architectural design partner for the project.
Academic offerings will concentrate on computers/technology, childcare, environmental sciences, and allied health.
