History
Buildings T and P

Nassau Community College was created as part of the State University of New York (SUNY) in 1959. When the college opened, on February 1, 1960, it had 632 students, and classes were held in an old courthouse. When Mitchel Air Force Base closed, the college obtained substantial property, including buildings to develop its new campus, on what is now known as Mitchel Field. (The government still retains some housing and other facilities in the vicinity of the Nassau campus.)

gollark: What? Why does it say it's doing a sequential scan now? Æ all is bee.
gollark: Slower, even.
gollark: Oops, it turns out I'm accidentally sorting by it instead of the rank, but it's equally slow after fixing that.
