Quinebaug Valley Community College (QVCC)

800 Country Club Rd, Waterbury, CT

Quinebaug Valley Community College, located in Danielson, Connecticut, was established in 1971 as concerted effort to bring a post secondary institution to the region. Attempts at founding an institution began some 25 years prior, but it was the formation of the Connecticut State Community College System that finally allowed for the school to be built. Since its foundation the school has expanded to a second campus as well as seen growth at the main campus through increased enrollment and the expansion and modernization of facilities. QVCC is not just a community college, it is an active participant in bringing the community together through education, culture, the arts and workforce development.
