This podcast episode tells the story of the Wolfson Campus at Miami Dade College. Originally established as Dade Junior College in 1960, the institution held classes wherever space was available including a local high school and other borrowed buildings. A decade later, the college began planning for its first permanent facility in downtown Miami.
The site for this new building was made possible by Mitchell Wolfson, the campus's namesake, who donated a block of land that once housed aging apartment buildings, the former Realty Board building, and the White Temple Church. With funding primarily secured through loans from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), construction was completed in 1973.
