Virginia College

Virginia College was located at 5940 Beach Boulevard in Jacksonville, Florida, from 2008 to 2018. This campus was one of 75 campuses closed by the Education Corporation of America in December 2018. Education Corporation of America had just lost accreditation from ACICS. Financial challenges multiplied since the Department of Education imposed new requirements for students’ loans. More than five schools have closed including ITT Technical Institute, Advanced Career Training, and Fortis college. Virginia College was the third company to occupy this building since 1979. The building was initially occupied by Albertsons Supermarket at its inauguration in 1979. In 2005, Albertsons sold the building to Rowe’s IGA Markets. Rowe’s closed in 2008. Across Beach Boulevard, at 5751, Kmart Building is empty since December 2012.
