History

Garrett College was established in 1966, as Garrett Community College, and took its present name in 2002.[2] In 1968, the Garrett Community College Board of Trustees acquired a site in McHenry, Maryland and construction of the campus began shortly thereafter.

In 2012, construction of the Garrett College Community Aquatic and Recreation Complex (CARC) was completed. The CARC is a 42,500 square-foot facility that houses a gymnasium, six-lane competition swimming pool, fully equipped fitness facility, locker and shower rooms, a wet classroom for instruction, multi use classroom space, and a physical and occupational therapy facility.[3] Construction is currently underway to add a state-of-the-art STEM building to Garrett College's main campus and it is scheduled to open August 2018.[4] In 2018, Garrett College announced that it will be moving forward with a new performing arts center. Architecture and engineering work begins July 1, 2018 and construction the following year.[5]
