Portland Community College’s Cascade Campus’ aging public safety building on North Killingworth
Street poses challenges for staff.
Public Safety Building Challenge
C ontinued From F ront
PCC’s bond measure on the
November ballot includes funding
for safety and security upgrades
throughout the college, as well as
$3 million for a new, dedicated fa-
cility on the same site at Cascade.
As with the current office, the new
building would include space for
the City of Portland police staff
who partner with Cascade’s offi-
cers.
The total PCC bond facing
voters is $185 million and would
also fund improvements to PCC
job training centers, including
the facility at Northeast 42nd and
Killingworth; increase the lifes-
pan of other facilities across the
district; improve workforce train-
ing programs to better align with
current and future jobs; and invest
in training for Health and STEAM
(Science, Technology, Engineer-
ing, Arts and Math) programs.
If approved, the measure will
not increase the tax rate because it
is a renewal of an expiring bond
passed by voters in 2000. It’s es-
timated to maintain the tax rate of
40 cents per $1,000 of assessed
property value for the next 16
years.
For Hargrove, connectivity
with the campus and community
is vital to public safety’s mission,
“If we had a space that was de-
signed to make it very well known
what is here, then people would
be more inclined and able to find
us and utilize the services that we
provide,” he added.
