    The National Labor College was founded in 1969 by the AFL-CIO to train union leaders and members. It originally operated out of a property purchased from the Xaverian Brothers in 1971. The George Meany Center for Labor Studies officially opened in 1974 and also began a partnership that year with Antioch College to offer bachelor's degrees. Over the decades, the college expanded its campus, degree programs, and archives. It was granted permission to award its own bachelor's degrees in 1997. The name was changed in 2000 and 2004 to reflect its growth. Major renovations in the 2000s added new buildings and programs.
