History
editCCBC was formed in 1966 and began operating in 1967. Originally located in Freedom, Pennsylvania, this college initially leased floors of the Freedom National Bank building and seventeen vacant storefronts for classrooms and offices.[5][6]
CCBC moved to Center Township, Beaver County where it created its own campus in 1971. In 1976, CCBC added a building called "The Golden Dome," a geodesic recreational facility that houses the athletic department and showcases local community events. This building is the most recognizable symbol of CCBC.
In 1990, the college created an aviation building to house its aviation program in Chippewa Township, Beaver County. The college built a new library in 1997 that also provides services to the Beaver County community.
