The Student Services Center is located adjacent to the pedestrian bridge crossing over the CSX/metro tracks. For the first time, enrolling students have convenient access in one building to Admissions and Records, Assessment and Testing, Career and Educational Planning, Financial Aid, the Cashier.  It is also home to key administrative offices, the Office of the Vice President and Provost, the Office of the Dean of Student Development and the Office of Student Life.  Also located in this 95,000 square foot facility are Security offices, the mailroom, the cafeteria, student and faculty/staff lounges, conference rooms, MC Copies, and important Student Activities areas for clubs, the radio station, the newspaper, volunteers, and the Service Learning Program.

During phase I, the college built a new pedestrian bridge. The bridge over the CSX/Metro tracks is a crucial element in the Campus expansion. It provides the necessary connection between the existing campus and the new buildings, west of the tracks.  The bridge begins at the northeast corner of Jessup Blair Park, and then crosses the CSX/WMATA railroad track right-of-way.  A ramp and stairway connected to Fenton Street as part of the first phase of the bridge construction.  At the east side of Fenton Street, the bridge  terminates inside the Student Services Center at the second floor level.  The construction of this eastern connection comprised the second phase of the bridge construction and coincided with the construction of Student Services Center.
