After the college closed, many of its facilities became the Kittrell Job Corps Center campus.

Duke Library was dedicated in October 1929, but the college did not have the funds to move the Crowell Science Building.

It also opened a student center in January 1971 and planned to construct an on-campus dormitory.

In 1979, the campus was purchased for a Federal Jobs Corps Center, which has remained in place since.

[citation needed] In 1997, several alumni were reported to be interested in restarting Kittrell College.
