Virtual Tour
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 TSC from 2002-2010, announced that the building would be converted to the new “Learning Commons.”
Faculty and staff from across TSC’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 TSC 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 TSC’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.
