VCCS – Southside Virginia Community College – Christanna Campus

The proposed Technology, Innovation & Success Center (TISC) on Southside Virginia Community College’s (SVCC) Christanna Campus will bring together a variety of programs and functions that support “The New Virginia Economy” Workforce Initiative.

T&L is partnering with the Virginia College Community System (VCCS) and SVCC to provide full Service A/E design, bidding and construction contract administration services for the new TISC. Included among the program elements are:

• Career Center, Veteran’s Center, Credentialing Center, and an IT Networking and Security Training Laboratory.

Existing services to be relocated to the proposed facility include:

• Student Services, Financial Aid, Admissions and Records, Comprehensive Learning Center (CLC), and IT Services. The CLC will replace the existing campus library.

The new facility will provide the resources and support needed to enable citizens across the region the opportunity to participate and succeed in all areas of post-secondary education and training.

The goal and vision of the new TISC is to ensure a workforce across Southside Virginia that is trained, credentialed, and ready to work while also providing a focus and iconic identity for both the campus and student population.

Bids for the project were opened on June 28, 2018 and the results were excellent. A total of six bids were received.

Construction began in August 2018.
