BCC's logo was originally a shield, surrounded by pine branches, in front of an anchor, surmounted by a burning lamp, triagonalized, containing crossed sheaves of wheat, a plow, and something else. This was replaced at some time by a shield containing BCC's trademark trefoil-hexagon, surrounded with lines extending the pattern. A copy is on display in the Parker Center on the building's information / dedication plaque.
The Parker Center is BCC's original classroom and lab building. This facility contains classrooms, two lecture halls, the campus theatre, student lounge, television and radio studios, the college's radio station WBZC, bookstore, cafeteria, test center, and laboratories. It is built around the theme of hexagonal angles and appears as a key from the air.
The Academic Center opened for classes in February 1994. This building contains multi-purpose computer labs, multimedia classrooms, a child care center and College administrative offices.
The Integrated Learning Resource Center/Library houses an online catalog, a law collection, children's reading area, Pinelands Room, Career Adaptive Learning Literacy lab with computers and assistive devices for students with special needs, periodicals and non-print media, a collection of classic films, reference works, leisure reading materials, study rooms and meeting facilities with videoconferencing capabilities.
