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.

“If I place love above everything, it is because for me it is the most desperate, the most despairing state of affairs imaginable.”

“What shall he have that killed the deer?
His leather skin and horns to wear.
Then sing him home.
Take thou no scorn to wear the horn,
It was a crest ere thou wast born;
Thy father’s father wore it,
And thy father bore it.
The horn, the horn, the lusty horn
Is not a thing to laugh to scorn.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
