Sleuthing Series — Moving in, Moving on

JCCC Archives presents the Sleuthing Series, where every Tuesday, we bring you an image from our past and ask you to help us find out more!

A daily occurrence! That’s what it is all about.

What We Know

  • As soon as classes were over in the spring of 1972, files, media, equipment and everything movable, was boxed and packed for the move to the new “College on the Boulevard!”
  • A major goal was to get everyone working at the new facility and to get everyone and everything connected and communicating.

What We Don’t Know

  • Do you know or have you heard accounts of adventures in moving offices, departments, labs, etc.?
  • Use the comments space below to let us know.  Get the conversation started!
