The Crawford Success Center, 130 N. Walnut St., includes more than 7,000 square feet of space which provides versatile spaces for student learning and community engagement. These facilities include classrooms, computer labs, small group study areas, additional lab areas, and offices.

The center is a connection point for students from Crawford and surrounding counties, and is the first institution of higher education in Crawford County.

The Center is the result of the vision of the Crawford County Partnership for Education and Economic Development, one of the key components of the 20/20 Vision project, and the result of countless hours of planning, fundraising, and hard work on the part of community leaders.
