SPRINGFIELD, MASS., the site of America's first armory, served as the center of U.S. military munitions manufacturing and research until 1968, when the historic site and buildings were deeded to Springfield Technical Community College. One of those buildings is now the STCC's Campus Center, which unites student services covering enrollment, academic advising, student life, and a learning commons in a 170-year-old, 764-foot-long structure. Previously, students had to navigate six departments in five buildings to access basic services in what was known as the "STCC Shuffle." The college, a federally designated Hispanic-serving institution, found that many prospective students just gave up and never registered.
