The creation of the New Jersey Chinese Community Center was envisioned in 1995 when Jimmy Hwang was the Principal of the 500+ students Mid-Jersey Chinese School in East Brunswick.

Realizing the difficulty of operating a Chinese school with a temporarily borrowed space and the necessity of having a permanent location, Mr. Hwang started the New Jersey Chinese Community Center right after he completed his term as the Chinese school principal in 1995.

The New Jersey Chinese Community Center was incorporated in the State of New Jersey on November 6, 1995 and received the Internal Revenue Service determination letter on December 3, 1996 as a public charity under Section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code as an organization described in Section 501(c)(3).

The search for a suitable and affordable location over the last eight years has resulted in a definitive agreement to purchase the property located at 17 School House Road, Somerset, New Jersey.

The building formerly used by AT&T as its training center, is a modern 90,000 square feet, one story building situated on 14 well maintained acres with 600 paved parking space. The building consists of, among other facilities, 62 classrooms and offices of various sizes, a 20,000 square foot of open space, a well-decorated auditorium and a 25,000 square foot catering area including a fully equipped kitchen, a nicely decorated dining room for 500 guests. and a well-planted court yard, ideal for wedding, engagement, anniversary, graduation, fraternity gathering, corporate parties, award ceremony, fundraising events, reunion, Christmas, and New Year celebration or any other cultural and social events.
