The Manchester Campus of Granite State College used to be in the old terminal building at Manchester-Boston Airport. Inside the beaufiful staircase with the mezzanine surrounding the second floor harkened back to the days when air travel was much new and still had a sense of leisure and prestige. Taking classes inside this building, one got a sense of the history of the airport, and the "classiness" that once was synonymous with air travel.
Things sure have changed in terms of flying nowadays.
Things have changed too at GSC. The Manchester NH classes now have a new home. The campus is now housed in an old refurbished mill building. I recently had the chance to visit the campus at 195 McGregor Street. The building itself is grand, the inside is beautiful. It has fantastic old, wide plank floors and high ceilings. Huge windows make the space bright and sunny and exposed brick is everywhere. The classrooms are spacious and parking is easy. This old mill building, like the previous campus in the terminal building, is steeped in history and full of charm.
While I'm no longer a student, I will remember fondly my time at the old airport building. The planes landing and leaving were part of our classroom environment. I am a little envious though of the students who will be at the new (though very old) building as they take their adult education courses. The work and activity that once took place when this building was a bustling mill can still be felt. Now, students get to enjoy this fabulous space while achieving their academic goals!
