The campus is located in the western part of downtown, and includes the Rosa Parks Museum and Library, the Davis Theatre for the Performing Arts, and portions of the historic Bell Building.

A separate Troy State College teaching center was established at Maxwell in 1965, which led to the creation of the present-day Montgomery Campus.

In 1982, the Montgomery and Dothan campuses were granted independent accreditation, and the Troy State University System was formed.

The University proudly counts some 60 flag officers among the ranks of its alumni, has a presence on or near over 30 military installations worldwide and participates in online learning programs with all service branches.

Troy currently offers an educational support site for military personnel at nearby Maxwell Air Force Base.

The campus is located in downtown Montgomery, where it houses the historic Davis Theater for the Performing Arts, the Rosa Parks Museum and Library, and the W. A. Gayle Planetarium.

The Gene Elrod Success Center provides a congenial learning environment where students are given academic tutoring and counseling.
