The main Lake Worth campus, situated three miles from the Atlantic Ocean and 60 miles north of Miami, features a mix of modern and mid-century buildings spread across its suburban setting. Founded in 1933 as Florida's first public community college, the institution has evolved into a comprehensive state college offering bachelor's degrees alongside its traditional associate degree programs.

Students primarily commute to campus, though the college maintains partnerships with nearby housing facilities for those seeking accommodation options.
