Tom Fantacone’s successful and enduring partnership with Middlesex County College (MCC) in Edison, NJ began in 1987 with the commission to design the Technical Services Center. Over 30+ years, the collaboration saw the design and construction of eight building projects and a Facilities Master Plan: Tom’s work with MCC built upon the unique campus context with a cohesive aesthetic vocabulary. These projects represented nearly $60 million in construction value over the 30-year period of the collaboration.
