PCCC opened its doors in 1971 in a single building in Paterson, New Jersey. As enrollment grew so did the physical campus. PCCC now has a main Paterson campus that encompasses 7 buildings and a new parking deck. The Wanaque Academic Center is a multi-functional 40,000 square foot facility on a twenty acre campus with plans for expansion. The Public Safety Academy in Wayne has a main building, a garage large enough to accommodate fire trucks for training and a state-of-the-art burn building. The College will soon open a new campus in the City of Passaic.
