R.K. Mellon Foundation Gives CCAC $3 Million

CCAC's West Hall

The Community College of Allegheny County has received the largest single gift in its 45-year history, a $3 million grant from the Richard King Mellon Foundation made to CCAC's foundation. The award will enhance college programs in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

The college said the grant provides funding for equipment for CCAC's allied health programs; faculty and a simulated instructional lab for the college's Green Institute; money for a science lab at CCAC's West Hills Center and funding to help construct on each of CCAC's campuses and two of its centers "math cafes," math assistance spaces that support programming that fosters greater connection among faculty and students
