Groundbreaking for Vandalia Education Center was held on August 29th , 2006. The dedication for this building was held on May 2, 2008. This split-level 21,000 square foot building includes both classrooms and lab spaces. Construction of the building completed in early summer of 2007.

Throughout the design phase of this building, the architect and engineers, along with the design committee, recognized the need to incorporate sustainable design, or “green” elements as the building was being developed. A “green building” is one that uses the latest technology that is more environmentally conscious and improves efficiencies through HVAC systems, window treatments, landscaping, flooring, lighting, and physical placement of the building.

As a result of this planning, the project had been registered with the United States Green Building Council. And the Vandalia Campus has been awarded LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environment Design) certification.

Kaskaskia College is the first public community college in Illinois to receive the energy-conversation certification for a building project.

A nursing program and associate degree general education classes are offered in this 21,350 square-foot-classroom-and-laboratory building,
