Learning Campus, which offers a
wide array of workforce training,
adult basic education, personal
interest and continuing educa

cated at the new site.
“The education center wi II help
attract students and improve the
economic diversity in the area,”
said Paul Ellison, president of the
82nd Avenue Business Associa
tion.
The new complex is 94,000
square feet and is located on a
10.3-acresite. A wall of glass win
dows looking out to a circular
plaza banks a great hall with an
atrium ceiling.
Nan Poppe, president o f
PCC's Extended LeamingCam-

testament to community support
for PCC.
"In a year dominated by bad
news about education in Oregon
and funding, this center is a high
note,” she said. “We are excited
to be able to bring more educa
tional opportunity to an area of
metropolitan Portland that has
been under-served for too many
years.”
