The Student Commons, a three-story, 66,000-square-foot building that houses a bookstore, classrooms, labs, and student services, and the Library, a three-story, 40,000-square-foot facility that contains stu dent learning and tutoring centers, class rooms and study areas, have recently been opened. The completed facilities and ongoing work are a result of a $48 million investment by the college from its 2008 voter-approved prop erty tax bond measure. In the fall, the college will officially celebrate the new campus des ignation with a community event. "Becoming a comprehensive college cam- pus is nothing short of transformational for southeast Portland, and for the faculty and staff who call PCC's Southeast Center home," said Southeast Campus President Jessica Howard. "With the beautiful new buildings, greatly expanded student services, library and state-of-the-art laboratories, PCC South east is literally opening doors of opportunity for the area community. It is a historic mo ment, and we at the campus are proud and humbled to be a part of it." The new campus will have expanded class offerings that allow students to complete an associate's or transfer degree without hav ing to travel to another PCC campus to finish their requirements. In addition, the campus has a full service library, expanded food service, new Women's R e so u rce , C a ree r E x p lo ra tio n and Multicultural Resource centers with dedi cated coordinators, additional Veterans re sources, expanded Tutoring and Testing centers, and will eventually have a brand new childcare center.
