It currently serves approximately 2,300 students and is a member of the Texas State University System. Opened in the fall of 1969 as an extension center of Lamar University, LSC-O first held classes in a vacant elementary school located on the site of the former naval base in Orange. That structure burned in 1971, prompting community leaders to raise funds for the purchase of a new facility that could accommodate students. The fund-raising campaign produced $250,000 that allowed for the purchase of a building located on Front Street in downtown Orange. That same year the Texas legislature approved the operation of a two-year educational center in Orange and appropriated $125,000 to support the operation of the center.
