Specific project descriptions

Natural Resources Center of Excellence

Constructing a Natural Resources Center of Excellence for horticulture, arboriculture, farming and wildland fire would prepare students to enter the workplace or university for a bachelor’s degree. The project would include a partnership space as well as an expansion of the welding center. This would include space for multidisciplinary programs with state-of-the-art teaching and safety equipment.

Increasing access to STEM opportunities

Partnering with K-12 districts to create a first-of-its-kind in Oregon immersive space simulator center to provide hands-on learning experiences to students in middle school through high school to learn about science, technology, engineering and math.

Updating and fixing aging infrastructure

Updating, maintaining and repairing aging facilities, including deferred major maintenance projects, campus services facilities work and technology upgrades to our aging computer labs and networks. Energy efficiency upgrades, along with replacing outdated and inefficient central heating and cooling plant. These projects would also increase accessibility for people with disabilities and add safety and security.

Building community partnerships

Expansion of workforce training space on the Wilsonville campus would enhance current career and technical education programs.

Increasing safety and security for students and staff

If passed, CCC would make safety and security upgrades to our three campuses through increased cameras and interior door access controls.

Large, modern classroom full of students

Modernizing learning spaces

Renovating and modernizing learning spaces in older buildings to meet hybrid and distant learning needs would allow the college to serve students and future employers from across Clackamas County.

Updating athletic fields and walking trail

IIf passed, the college would update CCC's athletic fields, including track and field renovations with grandstands, a synthetic soccer field with lighting, and completing the Douglass Loop walking trail on the Oregon City campus.
