Mountain Empire Community College
Big Stone Gap, United States- Virginia

University description (as per official university website)
In 1966, the Virginia Assembly enacted historic legislation establishing a statewide system of comprehensive community colleges. This legislation brought most post high school education below the bachelor's level into one system, and broadened the base of higher education in the state to such an extent that Virginia, for the first time in the twentieth century, took a major step toward democratizing higher education. As comprehensive institutions, the community colleges endeavor to serve all segments of society.
About the Campus
Mountain Empire Community College is located on 95 wooded acres.
Holton Hall was the first building on MECC's campus, named after Big Stone Gap native and former Virginia governor, Linwood Holton. Godwin Hall was built next and named for the founding governor of the Virginia Community College System, Mills Godwin. The two people most responsible in state government for the construction of MECC's industrial technology building were Delegate Orby Cantrell and Governor John Dalton. Dalton-Cantrell Hall was completed in the fall of 1984. Robb Hall, named for former Virginia governor and U.S. Senator, Charles Robb, was dedicated in April of 1989. It houses the Wampler Library, named in memory of Mabel C. And John Barbour Wampler, who were business and civic leaders in Wise County. The new $6.2 million, 50,000 square-foot Phillips-Taylor Hall, named for East Stone Gap sisters and benefactors Nelle Taylor Phillips and French Taylor, is distinguished by the Goodloe Center, in honor of Big Stone Gap pioneers John Mills, Edward Everett and William Trevenor Goodloe, and the Slemp Commons, named for the C. Bascom Slemp Foundation.
