Greenbrier Hall is the main building for the Greenbrier Valley Campus which is located in downtown Lewisburg. Greenbrier Hall is a 48,000 sq ft. facility in Academy Park, which consists of North House Museum, Carnegie Hall, and the Greenbrier County Library. All the facilities, with the exception of the Greenbrier County Library, were part of the facilities of the Greenbrier Women's College. The Greenbrier Valley Campus of New River proudly carries on the tradition of serving the population of the Greenbrier Valley which started with the Greenbrier Women's College. Greenbrier Hall was renovated in the mid-1990s and the first classes were taught in the facility in the spring of 1998. The community was instrumental in raising the funds necessary for the extensive renovations. The Greenbrier Community College Foundation was the lead agency responsible for raising the funds necessary to provide our students with a world class facility. Greenbrier Hall is completely ADA compliant. It houses seven classrooms - most with tables and chairs to accommodate adult students, state of the art biology and physical science laboratories, one computer classroom, one computer lab for student use, a 91 seat auditorium, a full service library, the cosmetology and massage therapy classrooms and labs, a Learning Resource Center, and all administrative and faculty offices and the Office of Workforce Education In addition to these offices there is a fully appointed training room, which hosts the Adult Basic Education program.

The Machine Tool Technology Center is located on Fairview Road in Lewisburg. The Machine Tool Technology Center houses both our machining program and welding programs.

Students who successfully complete their certification testing will receive internationally recognized credentials from the American Welding Society.
