В 1967 году Общественный колледж Независимости юридически отделился от школьного округа. Строительство нового общественного колледжа на территории кампуса площадью 68 акров (28 га), бывшего загородного клуба Независимости, началось в 1969 году. Занятия на новом месте начались в сентябре 1970 года. В кампусе ICC сейчас находится Академический корпус факультета изящных искусств.

Колледж отремонтировал новый Западный кампус, повысив узнаваемость колледжа в обществе и добавив столь необходимое пространство для технических программ. Была проведена капитальная кампания, в ходе которой было собрано 760 000 долларов на ремонт объекта. Колледж также внес около 350 000 долларов на ремонт этого здания. Этот кампус расположен на западной стороне Индепенденса и является домом для смежного здравоохранения, косметологии, ветеринарных технологий и кулинарии. ICC также поддерживает присутствие в центре города через офис ICC Foundation, который является отдельной организацией от колледжа.
