Nashville State Community College has a new home in Dickson for at least the next three years, while it works to find a long-term solution for a permanent campus location.
Nashville State’s Dickson campus is located at 208 West Walnut Street, the recently vacated senior citizens center in downtown Dickson. After an agreement with the City of Dickson was approved, the College made an investment to modify the building for a more collegiate environment with student support, study and lounge spaces, along with classrooms.
Nashville State has had a physical presence in the county, providing student support services and degree programs for nearly 15 years. The College moved out of The Renaissance Center, where it has been since 2008, at the end of last summer when the building was sold.
Once the College secures a permanent new home, it will be able to grow and expand programs and services to meet the growing needs of Dickson and the surrounding communities.
The College’s first event on the new campus was Saturday, Jan. 7, when staff were on hand to assist with registration for the Spring 2023 semester. Classes begin Jan. 17.
