About the bond
In November 2014, voters in the Clackamas Community College district approved a $90-million bond measure that was used to update and expand college classrooms and labs and modernize equipment to meet industry standards. Passage of the bond also resulted in CCC receiving $32 million in state matching funds, which was used to support Harmony West, the Holden Industrial Technology Center, the DeJardin/Pauling Science Complex and the Wacheno Welcome Center.
The bond measure was developed after a two-year community engagement process, asking the community what they most valued and needed from the college today and in the future. The bond projects address the requests during this process. Career technical and transfer degrees were identified as the top two areas for strategic improvement.
For more information about the bond and all the bond projects, visit our Bond pages.
