The 94,000-square-foot Southeast Center at Southeast 82nd Avenue and Division Street opened to students in 2004. Located in diverse and growing Southeast Portland, the modern and airy new facility was built with bonds approved by district residents in 2000. The center allows students to complete the first year of a college transfer degree and courses range from art, history and writing to math, business administration, economics and general science. Students can study professional-technical training programs like Computer Applications and Office Systems, Management and Supervisory Development, and Industrial Occupations (trades).

The Southeast Center houses the college’s alternative high school program, Gateway to College, English as a Second Language, plus a variety of non-credit courses through the Community Education program. A dance studio, fitness center, ceramics and painting studios and a photography darkroom are available to students. The center also serves as headquarters for PCC’s Extended Learning Campus, which offers a wide array of workforce training, adult basic education, personal interest and continuing education programs.

The campus is made up of two buildings, Mt. Tabor and Mt. Scott halls, which were designed to bring in natural light using skylights and bays. A great hall with an atrium ceiling banked by a wall of glass windows looks out to a circular plaza. The center’s grounds and facilities utilize sustainable design and existing resources when at all possible. The Southeast Center is home to approximately 9,500 students.
