The Finishing Touch on NVCC’s New Academic Building
Groundbreaking for the Academic Building on the Woodbridge Campus (Phase III) of Northern Virginia Community College (NVCC) was held on March 18, 2011. When the building was completed in the fall of 2012, 83,915 square feet of academic space had been added to the Woodbridge Campus. It was the first major classroom construction in 23 years at the Woodbridge campus, a fresh addition to a college that has long outgrown its other two classroom buildings, requiring classes to be held at nearby high schools.
NVCC, now the second-largest community college system in the nation, opened this region’s campus at Woodbridge High School in 1972. Its first actual classroom building was constructed in 1974. Located in the Prince William County town of Woodbridge, NVCC occupies over 109 acres with classroom buildings and sports fields situated around a scenic on-campus lake.
