The new County College of Morris satellite campus in Morristown has less than half the square footage of its former space.
But 30 Schuyler Place has other advantages over CCM’s prior location at Headquarters Plaza. Four hundred thousand reasons. As in $400,000, the amount the college expects to save annually by using the second floor of the Morris County Administration Annex Building.
“I like this space better,” Charles Lamb, CCM’s site director, said Friday at an open house where he gave three more reasons:
Location, location, location.

Schuyler Place is closer to the county administration building, where one-third of the school’s budget originates, and to the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office, which gives presentations at CCM for people considering law enforcement careers.
There also is free parking for students and faculty in the Ann Street garage, along with savings on utilities and a $1 lease.
Formerly home to a commercial title company, the Schuyler Place location has 5,000 square feet that include six classrooms with broadband. Courses in a wide range of subjects are taught at night. During daytime, noncredit courses in English-as-a-second-language are there, along with seminars and workshops by SCORE, an organization that helps entrepreneurs. Others interested in using the facility should contact Charles at 973-328-5532.
Although the ribbon-cutting was on Friday, classes actually started at Schuyler Place last semester. The two-year college is based in Randolph and opened its Morristown satellite in 1992 at HQ Plaza. CCM’s emphasis in Morristown is providing higher education courses and professional development training in information technology, health care, business and English proficiency, according to the school.
