Cape Fear Community College - Union Station

Cape Fear Community College's new Union Station project will be a major new addition to the landscape of downtown Wilmington. The project is the first building to be funded by the $164 million bond referendum passed by New Hanover County voters in November 2008.

Located at the corner of Front and Red Cross streets, the building will enable CFCC to better serve local citizens by providing more classrooms for general college classes, expanded health care training labs, a simulated operating room for the surgical technology program and a student services center which will include a one- stop location for vital student services like financial aid, counseling, career services, and business services.
