The decision, which occurred before
nearly 75 enthusiastic community and col
lege supporters at the Southeast Center's
community hall, comes on the heels of a
recent ribbon-cutting celebration marking
the completion of two new buildings on the
expanded 18-acre campus.
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.
