Campus
The campus sits on a 80-acre (32 ha) site overlooking Casco Bay three miles from downtown Portland. The college is complete with athletic facilities, which include baseball and soccer fields, and a full sized gymnasium. The campus includes forty buildings with residence halls and dining accommodations. The campus has many interesting features such as a brand new pier built by the State of Maine for research purposes and access to Willard Beach, the only beach in South Portland. The campus is also historically significant as the campus was once home to the military installment, Fort Preble, and old bunkers are still on the campus. Southern Maine Community College is also home to a lighthouse, as Spring Point Ledge Light is situated right in Portland Harbor. Southern Maine Community College's dormitory capacity can house up to 400 students.
