Volunteer State at Livingston is a full service degree-granting off-campus location of Volunteer State Community College. The campus underwent a major multi-year construction project transforming the original building into a new facility. It features 15 classrooms with the latest teaching technology; ITV interactive television classroom, science-biology lab, computer lab, library, 18 faculty offices, administration offices, outdoor and indoor study areas. Several of the classrooms are prepared for Allied Health classes.
Vol State offers the Associate of Science and Associate of Applied Science degrees at Livingston. Classes include general education, vocational and career development courses. They are scheduled during the day and evening. Formats include video, online, hybrid and traditional classroom courses.
Vol State classes started in Livingston in 1991. By 1994, increasing enrollment led to discussions about a new facility. The Tennessee Board of Regents approved the plan in 2004. Construction began in July 2005. The $5 million project was funded by donations to the Livingston Campus Campaign, and those donations were matched by the Tennessee Board of Regents. The total amount raised by the community was $2,286,516.
Vol State at Highland Crest
Vol State, along with Austin Peay State University, offers classes at the Highland Crest off-campus site in Springfield, Tennessee. This $4.4 million facility contains 25,000 square feet of space housing four classrooms, a multipurpose room, a science lab, an interactive television (ITV) classroom, a bookstore, a library, a learning support center, and ten faculty offices.
A local resident of Springfield, Billy Batson, donated the land for Highland Crest. Robertson County and Springfield leaders provided $6 million for construction. A partnership with the nearby NorthCrest Medical Center ensured that operating costs for the site would be funded for the first two years of operation. The campus opened on June 24, 2011 in time for the fall 2011 semester. It is now owned and operated by the Tennessee Board of Regents.
Classes offered at this campus include general education requirements for most degree programs.

April 7, 2006 Tornado
The college was damaged heavily in a tornado outbreak on April 7, 2006. Two buildings suffered direct hits from the twister, and reports from the college indicated that over 80 cars in the parking lots were damaged and destroyed. There were only minor injuries on campus. The Hal Reed Ramer Administration Building received major damage, including damage to the office of the President. Noble Caudill Hall suffered perhaps the worst damage, as much of the second floor on the south side of the building collapsed, and a large section of roofing above WVCP radio and the Wemyss Auditorium was ripped off and/or collapsed inward. Caudill Hall closed for more than a year and a half until repairs were completed. In all, eleven classrooms had to be relocated due to damage and 72 faculty and staff offices were moved. Volunteer State building coordinators and campus safety staff have been credited with helping to save lives on the day the tornado hit. They were honored in a ceremony at the school.
By spring of 2007, the Ramer building was fully occupied again, including a new home for the student radio station. The Caudill Building re-opened for classes on January 12, 2008. A major landscaping project was finished in spring 2008 marking the end of tornado repair.
