Construction on Schedule for Self Learning Commons, WCC Student Housing
The Phyllis and Charles Self Learning Commons will transform the campus by housing many of our student services under one roof. This 3-Story building will be the new home for the WCC Library, Computer Lab, Testing Center, Advising, Tutoring, Cafeteria and so much more! The Student Apartments are also taking shape across the street from the main campus. These 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments will provide affordable and convenient housing for our student population.
