Clackamas Community College Totally Explained

Everything about Clackamas Community College totally explained

Clackamas Community College (CCC) is a community college located in Oregon City, Oregon, United States. It is located at the junction of Oregon Route 213 and Molalla Avenue, nearly at the southern edge of the Portland, Oregon metropolitan area. The college serves as a transfer point between the TriMet and South Clackamas Transportation District mass transit systems and is the site of a park and ride.
One of the college's most distinguishable traits is its commitment to campus safety and security. Through an agreement with the Clackamas County Sheriff, campus safety officers are commissioned as special deputy sheriffs, making Clackamas Community College the only college in the state of Oregon whose officers carry real firearms.
CCC maintains three campuses: the central campus in Oregon City, Harmony Campus in Milwaukie, and the Wilsonville Campus.

Oregon City campus

CCC's main campus is located at 19600 South Molalla Avenue in Oregon City. Established in 1968, it was the college's first permanent site after existing several years with classes held in temporary locations, usually Clackamas County high schools.
The Oregon City campus comprises the following buildings:

Clairmont Hall

With a ground-breaking in June of 1968, Clairmont was the college's first permanent building. At first housing the entire school, it currently serves to house the Horticulture Department, the Criminal Justice Department, and the Driver Education Office.

Barlow Hall

The was the second permanent building completed, and the first building in what would come to be considered CCC's core area. It opened in 1970. Barlow is home to a variety of departments and classrooms, including Public Safety, Printing & Duplicating, Plant Services/Operations, Student Publications, Information Technology Services, Apprenticeship, Auto Mechanics, Auto Body and Refinishing, Parts Merchandising, Computer-Assisted Manufacturing, Machine Shop, Foreign Language, and various administrative offices.

McLoughlin Hall

Named after Dr. John McLoughlin, this building was completed in 1971. A theater was included in its construction, taking up most of the first floor, and the second floor housed the library.
The library was moved out of the building upon completion of the Dye Learning Center. With the construction of the Niemeyer Center and the Osterman Theatre, the theater program also moved out of the older building and has been replaced by various offices—including Campus Safety—and the theater has been converted to a lecture hall.
McLoughlin currently houses Business/Computer labs, faculty and campus safety offices, classrooms, and the school's bookstore.

Randall Hall

Primarily home to the gym and a wide assortment of physical education courses, Randall Hall was completed with McLoughlin Hall in 1971.

Gregory Forum

Completed in 1992, the forum serves as a location for large gatherings on campus that don't warrant the use of the gym.
The forum is named for Bill Gregory, whose 18-year term as a CCC board member ended with his death in 1987.

Elizabeth McClung Brod Family Resource Center

The Family Resource Center encompasses programs related to child care, teaching and human services, among others. The building also hosts a day care program for students with children.

Eva Emery Dye Learning Resource Center

The current residence of CCC's library, the Dye Learning Center was the last of 1992's series of new buildings.
The building's namesake was a pioneer who came to Oregon with her husband, Charles, in 1890. Dye was known for her active role in leading accomplishments such as the organization of the Oregon City Women's Club, the establishment of the first public library in Clackamas County, and the initiation of the local version of the Chautauqua program.

Wilsonville Campus

The Wilsonville Campus broke ground in 1991. It is located at 29353 Town Center Loop E in Wilsonville, Oregon.
