Our achievements have resulted in big greenhousegas savings. The built environment has a big impacton our carbon footprint, and much of these savingscan be attributed to a focus on sustainability andenergy conservation in our bond improvements.— Briar Schoon, PCC sustainability managerThe college recently completed the 6 million remodel of the weld shop forthe Welding Technology Program at theRock Creek Campus. The 50-year-oldbuilding was transformed into a state-ofthe-art, 10,000-square-foot facility withnew welding booths and energy-efficientmechanical and electrical systems. Theproject’s final flourish was the campus’Parking Lot E, which integrated a streamspray irrigation system to save water.At the Portland Metropolitan WorkforceTraining Center in Northeast Portland,the college is building its first project withcross-laminated timber (CLT), a type of“mass timber” that creates large panels andbeams by gluing smaller boards of woodtogether and alternating the directionof the grain so that the end product isstronger than standard wood construction. Trees and their lumber sequestercarbon throughout their life span –making CLT an environmentally friendlymaterial. This differs from concrete, whichreleases carbon into the environment.Speaking of trees, PCC hired BartlettTree Experts to conduct a survey of thecollege’s woodlands at every location. Thesurvey established the identity, location,condition and monetary value of thecollege’s trees and shared data withacademic programs that also informedconservation efforts being integrated withPCC’s Climate Action Plan. The collegeis a member of Tree Campus USA, anational program created by the ArborDay Foundation to recognize collegesand universities for effective campusforest management.The new 10,000-square-foot weld shop atRock Creek sports cutting-edge welding booths andenergy-efficient mechanical and electrical systems.These and many other energy efficiencyrelated projects are not only reducinggreenhouse gases and utility costs, theyare also extending the life of buildingsand improving their utility, said KristaPhillips, PCC’s former planning andcapital construction managing architect.“Having sustainability goals as a guidingprinciple for deferred maintenance projects, remodels and new constructionenables PCC to offer healthy, safely builtenvironments to our students and staff,”she said. “These improvements impactthe college operations and the communities we serve, in alignment with PCC’sgoals for equity and sustainability.” At its new training center in Northeast Portland, thecollege is using cross-laminated timber (CLT), which isa type of “mass timber” that creates large panels andbeams by gluing smaller boards of wood together.Did You Know?Even though the college has grown in square footage, it uses lesselectricity.

Keeping the PromiseTamir Yizhaki found the financial support he needed through Oregon PromisePortland Community College hasmany options for financial aid andscholarships to help students pay forcollege.Three years ago, Tamir Yizhaki experienced firsthand how PCC can helpstudents find the funding they need tosucceed. Yizhaki moved with his family toOregon from Israel as part of his father’sjob transfer to Intel. His parents toldhim that going to school in the UnitedStates was more expensive. As a 16-yearold moving to a new country, securingfinances for college in a few years wasn’tat the top of Yizhaki’s mind when hedecided to enroll at PCC.where he reached out to Financial AidCoordinator Rachael Smith, PCC’sOregon Promise grant administrator.Oregon Promise is a state grant that helpsto cover tuition costs at any Oregoncommunity college for recent high schoolgraduates and GED test graduates.Students must apply during their senioryear or immediately after test completion.Smith helped Yizhaki gather the correctpaperwork to become eligible for thestatewide grant.
