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.
Classes offered at this campus include general education requirements for most degree programs and specific courses in the Allied Health.

Famous quotes containing the words state, highland and/or crest:
“If kangaroos had no tails, they would topple over seems to me to mean something like this: in any possible state of affairs in which kangaroos have no tails, and which resembles our actual state of affairs as much as kangaroos having no tails permits it to, the kangaroos topple over.”
—David Lewis (b. 1941)
“If you would feel the full force of a tempest, take up your residence on the top of Mount Washington, or at the Highland Light, in Truro.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The history of any nation follows an undulatory course. In the trough of the wave we find more or less complete anarchy; but the crest is not more or less complete Utopia, but only, at best, a tolerably humane, partially free and fairly just society that invariably carries within itself the seeds of its own decadence.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
