The Multipurpose Building came next in 1973, followed by the Vocational-Technical Building in 1978 and the Classroom Building in 1985. Our most recent addition to the main campus is the new classroom/auditorium facility constructed in 1997-98. The campus now encompasses over 200 acres and the college also has facilities in Washington, St. Clair, and Sullivan. Courses are also offered in Rolla and other communities in the region.
- The college offers courses and programs at several off-campus facilities, in addition to the Main Campus. As interest warrants, classes are offered at area high schools and other locations throughout the district. Off-campus locations includes Four Rivers Career Center, Rolla Technical Center and Southwest Area Center.
