James R. Worrell Sr. Building and James R. Worrell Sr. Financial Institute Formally Dedicated

On Thursday, October 3, 2013, Central Piedmont Community College formally dedicated the Worrell Building, located on Central Campus, and the James R. Worrell Sr. Financial Services Institute.

A Charlotte civic leader and philanthropist, Worrell is a long-time supporter of CPCC, serving on the CPCC Foundation Board of Directors and the foundation's "Legacy and Promise" campaign steering committee. Worrell has been a member of the CPCC Foundation for more than 20 years.

The Worrell Building, a newly renovated 70,417 square-foot facility, is used by more than 2,000 CPCC students a day. The facility houses a gymnasium, fitness center, 17 classrooms and seven faculty/staff offices.

The Financial Services Institute offers courses in pre-licensing, continuing education, professional development and consumer education to prepare students for careers in this highly regulated industry.
