SOUTHWESTERN VA TR CTR EP

Southwestern Va Tr Ctr Ep is a public school offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 12th Grade.

The **Southwestern Virginia Training Center (SWVTC)**, located at 160 Training Center Road in Hillsville, Virginia, was historically a state-run residential facility dedicated to providing specialized care and support for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. For decades, the center served as a critical resource for the region, offering clinical services, vocational training, and residential housing designed to foster independence and provide medical oversight for some of the community’s most vulnerable populations.

In recent years, the facility has undergone significant changes in alignment with a broader state shift toward community-based integration. Following the decision by the Commonwealth of Virginia to transition away from large, state-operated institutions in favor of personalized, community-integrated support systems, the SWVTC officially closed its doors as a residential training center in 2016. Today, the site remains a notable landmark in Carroll County, representing the evolution of disability services from institutionalized care to modern, inclusive community living arrangements.
