[edit] History

The New England School of Communications began as the New England School of Broadcasting in 1981. It had an educational mission to train students for positions in the broadcasting. The School's first campus was in a downtown location called the "Broadcast House" in 1983. The location proved to be temporary as the School's growth required a bigger campus. In 1985, NESB moved to a location on the campus of Husson College and continued to grow by providing housing, dining, a gymnasium and other campus amenities. In 2001, a new Communication Center was established for the school with a new wing added in 2004. ^[3].

The current physical layout of the New England School of Communications/Husson College Campus includes the Gym, the O'Donnell Commons, home to the Schools of Education and Health, the Peabody academic building, Dickerman Dining Hall, the Dyke Center for Family Business, the NESCom building and the residence halls (Hart, Carlisle, and Bell). Two walking trails circle the outer perimeter for walks through the Maine forest.
