In 1972 the name became Washington Technical College as part of a reorganization of Ohio's higher education system. In 1991, the College was re-chartered as Washington State Community College and at the same time relocated to its current campus at 710 Colegate Drive in Marietta.
- The campus is about 280 acres of rolling woodland within the city limits. Limited classes are offered in off-campus locations, including Morgan County, Belpre, and Caldwell, Ohio. The Washington State campus, which opened with one "Main" building in 1991, has grown to include six structures: the Main Building, Arts & Sciences Center, Carson K. Miller Library, Center for Business and Technology, Evergreen Child Development Center, and a maintenance building. The college sets on nearly 155 acres of wooded land. In 2004 the College created a Master Plan for campus growth, with a vision for addition of a conference center, an Appalacian arts center with an amphitheater, and a health sciences building, as well as improvements to the campus entrances and parking.
