With more than 20,000 students on its Cascade campus throughout the year, Portland Community College has a strong presence in the Humboldt neighborhood. And its footprint is about to grow even larger.
Cascade Campus is moving forward with building a new academic building and student center with underground parking.
PCC’s board of directors last week awarded a $40 million contract to Hoffman Construction for a major renovation and addition. Construction is set to begin at the end of the year.
The campus stretches along five blocks of North Killingsworth Street, which is otherwise dotted with cafes and modest-sized businesses. THA Architecture has worked with the college on a campus redevelopment plan since 2009, and the upcoming transformation is expected to add a more urban feel and activate the neighborhood, according to project architect Nick Hodges.

The project of the campus looks just flawless, I am sure that the students will be previleged to reside in it.
