History
LCCC was founded on March 31, 1966[2] as Lehigh County Community College. It originally held classes in the former Lehigh County Courthouse.
In 1972, modern facilities were built, creating the foundation for the current campus of this academic institution. College administrators selected the school's current name in 1994 with the goal of increasing enrollment from nearby Carbon County.
This college maintains learning centers at two additional off-campus locations: the Donley Center in Allentown, and the John Morgan Center in Tamaqua. They also previously operated the Carbon Center in Jim Thorpe, but closed it in 2020 due to a lack of enrollment and an increasing number of students taking classes online. [3]
Until its sale in 2013, the college also operated a campus radio station, WLHI, which was streamed globally on iHeartRadio.[4]
