Germanna To Have Office In Central Park

Correction: The square footage of the building was incorrect in an earlier version of this story.

Rappaport Companies is providing space for Germanna Community College's marketing/public relations staff and its foundation in Central Park.

Germanna President Dr. David Sam said the move will take place this year at 1320 Central Park Boulevard across from Funland. He said Rappaport Companies will lease the space rent-free for three years. The space is about 2,330 square feet and about eight to 10 people will occupy the building.

Sam said enrollment continues to trend upward, but they grew less this past year than it has been in the past. Germanna plans to open an auto center in Stafford County and have a fire science certification both this fall. A physical therapy program is expected to begin in spring 2013. 

Germanna will have an open house for its new science and engineering building next month to showcase its Silver LEDE certification as a green building.

Sam also said that the college is looking at a permanent location in Stafford County, plans to have a new parking deck with 360 spaces this fall and expand the nursing wing.
