The main campus is located in Clifton Forge, Virginia. MGCC also operates the Rockbridge Regional Center on Vista Links Drive in Buena Vista.[5]
Renaming
In 2022, the college was renamed from Dabney S. Lancaster Community College to Mountain Gateway Community College after a review of names prompted by the Virginia State Board for Community Colleges. The review found that school namesake Dabney S. Lancaster supported segregation and had ties to a white supremacist group.[6][7]
