Portland
continued from page 3
“New Beginnings” runs from 2-6 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 20
and includes tours of both the new Student Union and Cas-
cade Hall at PCC Cascade. The program – to take place in
the student lounge on second floor of the Student Union –
begins at 4:30 p.m. and will include comments from College
President Jeremy Brown, Cascade President Karin Edwards,
students, faculty, the PCC Board of Directors and local leg-
islators. Food, music, and a light show will be offered, as
well. The open house is free and open to the public.
Both buildings are part of the college’s 2008 voter-
approved $374 million bond program with $58 million
going to the construction and improvements at Cascade.
The area between the two new buildings is a landscaped
plaza that will be part of an east-west “mall” running
through the entire campus once construction is complete.
Below the plaza and the two buildings is an underground
parking garage that opened this past September. The 211-
space garage is the first of its kind to be built on any PCC
campus. Its design was part of the college’s commitment to
the neighbors and the City of Portland to reduce the number
of college-related vehicles parking on local streets.
