In October of the same year, the Brunswick County Board of Commissioners voted to change the name to Brunswick Technical College.[2] The original building was a 3,732 square foot cinder block building that had been donated to Brunswick County in 1950. The first building built on the permanent campus was completed in 1983.[3] The College was accredited in 1983 by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. In 1988 County Commissioners changed the name to Brunswick Community College, to standardize the name with other North Carolina Colleges. [2] Odell Williamson, a Brunswick County politician and businessman, donated $500,000 in 1989 to fund the construction of a 1,500 seat auditorium on Brunswick Community College's campus.[4] ## Athletics The BCC athletic teams for both men and women are known as the Dolphins. The school is a member of the [Carolinas Junior College Conference](/source/Carolinas_Junior_College_Conference) for athletics under the aegis of the [National Junior College Athletic Association](/source/National_Junior_College_Athletic_Association). The college offers men's and women's basketball, baseball, and softball.
