History

The William D. Law, Jr. Learning Commons first opened its doors in 2008. Before that, the building had been used as the Legislative Research Center and Museum that housed historic items that were eventually moved to the old Capital building in downtown Tallahassee.

In 2006, Dr. William D. Law, Jr., fifth president of TCC from 2002-2010, announced that the building would be converted to the new “Learning Commons.”

Faculty and staff from across TCC’s campus collaborated tirelessly as they planned the physical layout of the building, and developed best practices that allowed the newly formed division to provide tutoring for all TCC students. Before the opening of the Learning Commons, learning assistance was spread out across campus.

Today, the Learning Commons has and is constantly evolving in order to be able to serve TCC’s growing diverse student population. Here, students can find quiet study spaces and friendly faces who are here to support their academic journey, and much more.
