The Learning Assistance area of the LRC provides numerous services to SWCC students, including tutoring services, placement services, developmental study materials, academic programs for students with disabilities, and software for Allied Health and other instructional programs.

Also located in the LRC is Old Dominion University’s (ODU) distance learning program. This program enables SWCC students to pursue college degrees from bachelor degree levels to advance graduate studies without leaving campus. ODU offers interactive televised and online programs, as well as personalized advisement services for students.

In addition to the superb technological capabilities of the LRC facility, several unique architectural design features have been incorporated to include an expansive indoor waterfall with brick and stone sculpting that further promotes the existing beauty of the SWCC campus.
