Lawrence County Center
The Lawrence County Center of Butler County Community College was established in 1989 at the Lawrence County Vo-Tech through an agreement between BC3 and the Joint Operating Committee of Lawrence County AVTS. The new facility provided easier access to higher education for residents of Lawrence County. The Lawrence County Center became the third off-campus site to be established.
Lawrence Locations Expanding
Since 1989, locations in Lawrence County have expanded from the Vo-Tech, which is now the Lawrence County Career and Technical Center, with additional sites at Neshannock and Lincoln High Schools.
