Finally !!!.............. after
years and years of anticipation, ""reality" came in 1996 when the
College of Micronesia actually vacated the old
"run-down" campus in Kolonia and moved to the New
College Campus located at Palikir, Pohnpei. Within 2 years of
construction, the new college campus was turned over to the
College of Micronesia with two 2-story classroom buildings, one
faculty office building, one huge Library building, one
administration building, one food services building, two
dormitory buildings, one student services building, a maintenance
shop, one storage building and the newly constructed "China-FSM
Friendship Sport Center."
Classroom A, with emphasis
on "Math & Science Courses," has two, air-conditioned
computer labs with 30 computers in each. The building also have
two open classrooms, three science labs and a laboratory
prep-room for chemicals and equipment storage. On east wing, you
shall find the male restroom and a janitorial supply room. On the
West wing, you will find the female restroom and the utility room
where electrical control panels are situated. Building A was

programs and student enrollment, the number of Faculty and
Support Staff also increased to teach these courses. In
anticipation of increase in student enrollment & new courses,
resulting in the need for more Faculty and Support Staff, COM-FSM
had asked for Financial Support from FSM and am currently
