ALEXANDER CENTER
History
CVCC in Alexander County began in 1980 with one instructor, having a CVCC phone line in her house, and her office in the trunk of her car. Classes were held wherever space could be found, such as the library and local classrooms.
In 1990 we moved (with the help and support of the Alexander County Commissioners) into our first permanent location. Though it was just the basement of the Duke Power Building, we had room for three classes at the same time.
Of course, once given the room to grow, we did and were soon bursting at the seams! In 1994 (again with the help of the commissioners) we were able to move into the old Lewittes Office Building, a much larger facility, but in great need of a good cleaning and paint job. Luckily, for us, many people joined in and helped us get the job done.
Since that time we have continued to grow and offer many more classes, thus outgrowing this facility.
