Line 19 ⟶ 20:
Calling an {{convert|11|acre|m2|adj=on}} tract home, South Campus is a single-story, semicircular structure that houses classrooms, shops/labs, offices and a reception area. In 2000, an {{convert|8050|sqft|m2|adj=on}} addition was constructed to provide space for an expanded cosmetology department, computer lab and EMS/Public Service classroom. In addition, the Granville County Library South Branch occupies one section of the complex. Like all of the other campuses, South has an Early College high school.
Occupying three one-story brick buildings totaling more than {{convert|14000|sqft|m2}}, Warren County Campus encompasses general classrooms, an ABE/GED learning/testing center, labs, multi-purpose shop, reception areas and offices.
Franklin County Campus, located on a scenic {{convert|22|acre|m2|adj=on}} site, has a two-building, {{convert|34000|sqft|m2|adj=on}} complex that opened its doors to students in Fall 1998. It contains general classrooms, vocational, computer and science labs, a childcare center, computer and conference room, book store, and faculty and administrative offices, and other skills training areas. In the spring of 2001, a new biotechnology lab and classroom building were added along with a multipurpose building.
Since their formal dedication in the fall of 1988, both South Campus and Warren Campus have been renovated, enlarged and improved to accommodate a growing number of students. Franklin Campus, which first opened its doors to students in 1991, shared space in the Louisburg Human Services Building before moving in 1998 to its permanent new home. The combined value of these three campuses is approximately $7.3 million.<ref>[https://www.vgcc.edu/about-vgcc/college-history VGCC website]</ref><ref>''Vance-Granville Community College: The First Thirty Years'' by Jan Pogue (1999)</ref>
