The Community College of St. Mary's County was established in 1978 at Great Mills High School. The campus was moved to its current location in 1997, which includes four buildings—Buildings A, B, C, and D.[12] The campus has an auditorium/seminar room, science labs, and a wellness center, which is available for student and community use.[12]

The Community College at Calvert County, established in 1980, moved to its current location on J.W. Williams Road in Prince Frederick in 2005.[13] The main building is a two-story, 56,000-square-foot (5,200 m²) construction, which includes 15 classrooms, 6 computer labs, and a 2,951-square-foot (274.2 m²) library.[13] The B Building is a two-story 30,000-square-foot (2,800 m²) construction, which includes student services, 7 computer labs and classrooms, the newly expanded wellness center, the Nuclear Energy Training Center, and is the college's first LEED certified building with four green roofs.[14]

On February 27, 2013, the College of Southern Maryland announced it had purchased 74 acres in Hughesville to build another campus. The first phase was the construction of the 30,000-square-foot (2,800 m²) Center for Trades and Energy Training (CTET).[15]

The second phase proposed for the campus includes a Center for Health Sciences.
