Many centers offer courses and undergraduate degrees and build student demand for new programs.
The centre is building on this historical foundation.
The center will build on its American experience, develop ties in other countries and become a multilateral partnership, tackling global concerns.
Some centers saw the revolution coming years ago and built their own systems, literally at home.
At the same time, the center is building three digital labs with 24 stations among them.
The centres in the community, whose livelihood was once based on agriculture, have built themselves into residential communities.
In addition, there will be offices, parks, fountains, ball fields, a community center and space on which to build an elementary school if needed.
The center is now building itself back up.
Although the center has built a national reputation, locally it is not as well known.
The facade of the building still stands, although the rest of the building has been demolished and a medical centre built in its place.
