Campus
Spoon River College currently has its main campus in on 160 acres (0.65 km2) of land four miles from the city of Canton, Illinois. In 1984, a large second location, known as the Macomb Campus, was opened in Macomb, Illinois, and occupied the old Macomb High School building. The building required extensive renovation which took ten-years and $2.6 million to complete.
In addition to these two large campuses, the college holds for-credit classes at learning centers in Havana, Illinois and Rushville, Illinois. Spoon River College also holds non-credit and career development classes at two Community Outreach Centers in Macomb and Canton, Illinois.
High demand for both credit and non-classes and training at the Macomb Campus has led to the building of an expansion center. The $2.2 million phase one portion of the project was completed in August 2009. A large $10 million expansion is planned for the extension center in the near future.
Spoon River College currently operates a satellite campus at the local Illinois River Correctional Center under contract with the Illinois Department of Corrections. SRC holds vocational and rehabilitative classes at the IDOC facility, closed to the public.
