History of Chattahoochee Valley Community College. Chattahoochee Valley Community College was established in 1973 by an act of the Alabama State Legislature. Located in Phenix City Alabama, the College was created to serve the citizens of Russell County and parts of Bullock, Lee, Macon, and Barbour Counties. It serves as well the citizens of the Phenix City, Alabama and the Fort Benning-Columbus, Georgia, metropolitan area. Because this service area contains both rural and urban areas, the educational needs of the citizens are varied. The College opened in temporary quarters in January 1974. In 1976, the College moved to its present permanent location at 2602 College Drive. In the fall of 2000 the College enrolled approximately 1739 students. The 103-acre site on which the College is located includes eight permanent buildings: an administrative/classroom building, one general purpose classroom building, a learning resources center, a fine arts building, a health and physical education building, a student center, security kiosk, and maintenance building. |
