Overview of Main Campus

The main campus of Johnston Community College is located near the center of Johnston County, North Carolina, near the intersection of Interstate 95 and US Business 70, at 245 College Road in Smithfield. While the College has its beginnings in early 1967, classes began at the new Smithfield campus in September 1976.

The 145-acre campus of buildings and designated sites includes classroom and lab spaces and facilities for both curriculum and Community Development & Lifelong Learning programs as well as the library, greenhouses, fitness center, art gallery, academic skills center, student lounge, auditorium, faculty offices, administrative and student support offices, and service spaces. The beautiful and luscious campus site includes scenic ponds, fountains, walking trails, thematic gardens, and courtyards through an array of native species plants and cultivated landscapes.
