Woodbridge Campus History
In 1965, Northern Virginia Technical College opened with 761 students in the Carlyn Springs Road warehouse, located in Bailey's Crossroads. In 1967, the College purchased 109 acres in Woodbridge to build one of six campuses to accommodate an ever-growing student body.
The Woodbridge Campus, originally called the Southern Campus, welcomed its first students in the fall of 1972. Today, it features five academic buildings, scenic outdoor spaces, and a vibrant campus community.
