Bluegrass Community and Technical College, formerly known as Lexington Community College, is a community college located next the University of Kentucky campus, in the shadow of Commonwealth Stadium. It is a member of the Kentucky Community and Technical College System. Until 2004 it was considered a part of UK, until a vote by the trustees sealed its independence. BCTC educates over 13,000 students spread across 5 campuses.
BCTC's main campus consists of three buildings. The Oswald Building is the main building, consisting of classrooms, administrative offices, as well as a cafeteria and a bookstore. The Academic Technical building is mostly classrooms, and the Moloney Building contains more classrooms as well as several computer labs. The other campuses are located in Winchester, Lawrenceburg, and two more elsewhere in Lexington.
BCTC students are still very connected to UK, depending upon it for parking passes, ID cards, as well as having access to residence halls and student tickets for athletic events. BCTC offers two-and-four year programs, with many students opting for the two-year route to work their way back toward a four-year university such as UK or another.
