==History==
In 1967, the college was officially created after two years of effort, which included proposals, approval, and planning. It opened its first temporary office in Oak Lawn, IL. A year later, a contest was held to give the college its name, Moraine Valley Community College. The name was chosen because of its location: “where the Valparaiso and Tinley moraines meet to form a valley.“ Since no campus was yet established, the first classes were held in leased warehouses in Alsip, IL.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=College History )〕
A year later in 1969, seven “temporary buildings” were opened on the Palos Hills campus. In 1970, with enrollment at 4,089, construction began on the first permanent building on the campus, which opened two years later in 1972. From that point on, buildings have been continually added to the campus until as recently as 2008, while the temporary buildings were torn down until the last one in 1994. In 2004, the first extension site, The Moraine Valley Education Center, opened in Blue Island, IL. On October 6, 2010, the college’s second extension site, the Southwest Education Center, was opened in Tinley Park, IL.〔 The US Green Building Council awarded that facility LEED Platinum certification for its high level of "green" performance.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Moraine Valley celebrates LEED Platinum designation for Tinley Park campus, recognizes contributors )〕
