Wilbur Wright College, Community college in Chicago, US
Wilbur Wright College is a public community college on the northwest side of Chicago. The campus is made up of several buildings with classrooms, a library, and shared spaces, all oriented toward two-year degree programs and vocational training.
The college opened in 1934 as Wright Junior College under the Chicago Board of Education. During World War II, the US Navy used the campus to train men in electronics, after which the school eventually moved to its present location and joined the city's public college network.
The college takes its name from Wilbur Wright, the aviation pioneer who flew the first powered airplane alongside his brother. This connection to early flight is reflected in the technical and vocational programs that form a large part of what the college offers today.
The campus is easy to reach by public transit, as most students commute from different parts of the city. First-time visitors will find the main buildings clearly marked from the main entrance.
The college runs the Humboldt Park Vocational Center, a separate site where students learn trades such as machining and can move directly into work afterward. This setup lets graduates enter the job market without completing a full degree program.
