Davidson County Community College was chartered in 1958 as an Industrial Education Center designed to provide adults the education and skills needed to move from an agricultural to a manufacturing-based economy. The first classes were held at the former Junior Order Home on Highway 8 in Lexington. In 1963, the campus consisted of only the Sinclair Building built on a 22-acre site at the juncture of U.S. 29-70 and Old Greensboro Road. It was home to 125 students enrolled in vocational and technical courses and another 51 studying adult education and service programs. In 1965, the institution was chartered as Davidson County Community College. The Associate in Arts and Associate in Science were added to the existing Associate in Applied Science, Diploma, and Certificate offerings. College transfer courses were added in 1966. Since then, the Davidson Campus has grown to 11 buildings and two emergency services training facilities on approximately 97 acres.
