About the proposed projects

Modernizing learning spaces

Renovating and modernizing learning spaces in older buildings to meet today's hybrid and distant learning needs will allow the college to serve students and future employers from across Clackamas County both urban and rural.

Constructing a center of excellence

Constructing a center of excellence for horticulture, farming, welding and wildland fire prevention, which will prepare students to enter the workplace or university for a bachelor's degree. The project could include a partnership space with Clackamas' Oregon State University's Extension Service. This includes space for multi-disciplinary programs with state-of-the-art teaching and safety equipment.

Improving athletic fields and walking trail

Improving CCC's athletic fields including track and field renovations with covered grandstands for sporting events and outdoor graduation, a synthetic soccer field with lighting and completing the Douglas Loop walking trail on the Oregon City campus.

Securing the safety of students and staff

Safety and security improvements to our three campuses through increased cameras and interior door access controls.

Improving access to STEM opportunities

Partnering with K-12 districts to create a center to inspire and educate students in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) through hands-on learning experiences through the Challenger Center, a nonprofit organization that was created to honor the crew of the Space Shuttle Challenger.

Building community partnerships

Adding a workforce partnership building on the Wilsonville campus will enhance the career and technical education programs we offer and bridge the gap between education and industry. By fostering partnerships with local businesses, we can align our programs with the needs of the workforce, preparing students for success in high-demand fields.

Updating and fixing aging infrastructure

Updating, maintaining and repairing aging facilities, including deferred major maintenance projects, campus services facilities improvements and technology upgrades to our aging computer labs and networks. Energy efficiency upgrades, along with replacing outdated and inefficient central heating and cooling plant, will create savings for the college. These projects would also increase accessibility for people with disabilities, remove access barriers as well as increase safety and security.
