It is part of the North Carolina Community College System and serves Vance, Granville, Franklin, and Warren counties.
The ultimate result, combined with the legislature's approving the addition of a college-transfer program, was the construction and subsequent opening of the new Vance–Granville Community College campus in 1976 on an 83-acre (340,000 m2) tract in Vance County, midway between Henderson and Oxford, off Interstate 85.
In fact, phenomenal growth in its physical facilities and student enrollment necessitated a move in 1978 to expand its offerings to include the populace of Franklin and Warren counties.
Today, the main campus, picturesque with a lake and attractive landscaping, has nine permanent buildings that include a student services complex, civic center and daycare unit.
Calling an 11-acre (45,000 m2) tract home, South Campus is a single-story, semicircular structure that houses classrooms, shops/labs, offices and a reception area.
Occupying three one-story brick buildings totaling more than 14,000 square feet (1,300 m2), Warren County Campus encompasses general classrooms, an ABE/GED learning/testing center, labs, multi-purpose shop, reception areas and offices.
Franklin Campus, which first opened its doors to students in 1991, shared space in the Louisburg Human Services Building before moving in 1998 to its permanent new home.
