The long-aw aited expansion to the
Harmony campus has finally opened
and blown away the expectations of staff!
and students alike. Everything from new
classrooms, labs, and study space.
As m any students at Clackam as
Com unity College know, the new
Harmony West building has been under
construction for a sizable amount of
tim e; construction has finally been
finished enough for classes to be held
in the facility.
The building itself sports a big,
open-air design w ith high-capacity
classrooms, well equipped study areas
that even include sound-insulated
private study rooms and two brand new
labs and equipment.
Though there are still workers coming
in to put on finishing touches in the
completed areas and more work to be

done to finish others, many are still
impressed by the look and feel of the
new learning environment. One student,
Austen Potter, even called it the ‘next
level of nice’ after his first week of class
in the facility.
The first few w eeks do not come
w ith out problem s how ever. Many
have noticed a lack o f clocks and
m isce lla n eo u s reso u rces in the
classrooms. The equipment for the areas
still under construction can also get in
the way at times.
These, however, are minor complaints
to the overwhelming positive responses
of staff and students. One staff member,
Dr. Scott Kiser, said that he was enjoying
teaching in the building and really
enjoyed being able tp step out o f the
classroom to such a nice common area.
Student Alanna Dumaran said it was
Editorial
“ a real upgrade from the old building,”
and she appreciated how modern and
comfy the aesthetics and environment
are.
| The new student store, located in the
lobby, also makes it easier qnd more
convenient to get books and supplies
for those who do riot live close to the
Oregon City campus.
Along with the typical accoutrements
found in the college student store, the
Harmony campus store also includes
medical supplies; to complement the
nursing and health classes found
there. Everything from new scrubs and
uniforms, to stethoscopes, scissors and
more.
Since the begining of the term the new
building has been open and availiable
to be viewed by any interested student.
