National College has brought an elevated learning experience to Henry County.
In March 2008, the Martinsville campus made the much-anticipated move from Jefferson Plaza to a renovated $2.3 million facility on North Memorial Boulevard, providing the school’s 300 students with a convenient, user-friendly place to learn and grow. The 16,000-square-foot campus is equipped with a medical classroom lab, three computer labs, an information systems engineering lab, lecture rooms, faculty and student lounges, a library and a bookstore.
“We’re really excited about this grand opening,” says John Scott, National College’s Martinsville campus director. “The renovation was well received by the city because the building had been empty for a while. The new classrooms are equipped with more modern equipment than previously available, with classrooms on one level rather than four.”
The Martinsville campus, which first opened in 1978, is one of seven National College locations in Virginia. The career college is a popular choice for students pursuing specialized diplomas or two-year associate degrees.
Scott also hopes to add a bachelor’s degree program in management in 2009.
“We’re very happy to put this investment in the community and support our students,” says Scott, a 15-year veteran of National College. “We’re much more visible in the community and hope the investment we’ve made in Martinsville will spur additional investment from other companies.”
