The Cascade Campus is the anchor of a neighborhood in the midst of transformation. Located in the middle of the most culturally diverse section of Portland, Cascade offers a range of programs as varied as the community surrounding it.

Situated in the revitalized North Portland area, Cascade Campus offers students a centralized location and broad ties to the many cultures represented in its surrounding community. Located in the heart of an historic neighborhood, Cascade is the home of such annual festivities as the acclaimed Cascade Festival of African Films, one of the most prominent and popular film festivals in the Pacific Northwest. The rich blend of culture, tradition and renewal that flavors Cascade Campus is reflected in the neighborhoods it serves, which are making names for themselves as hot spots of Portland art and commerce. Cascade’s self-guided walking art tour is anchored by its new Art Gallery, which opened in the fall of 2006.

The Rock Creek Campus is situated about 12 miles west of downtown Portland, in the rapidly growing Beaverton-Hillsboro area of Washington County. The campus' concrete and wood structures fit nicely into the rolling hill farmland, creating a pristine study environment.

Spacious, open malls highlight Rock Creek, which opened in 1976. The land for this scenic oasis was purchased in 1969 for $584,955 and has provided a great return on Portland Community College's investment, offering important educational services to a rural-suburban community.

The Rock Creek Campus sits amid farm and wetland, perfect for PCC's Veterinary Technology, Landscape Technology and Biology programs. It's also a fine venue for its Diesel Service Technology, Agricultural Mechanics, Auto Collision Repair, Building Construction Technology and Bioscience Technology programs.

The 256-acre campus, by far the largest area of the three campuses, provides a beautiful setting for college transfer and professional and technical programs. The campus is a model for successful partnerships with area high schools, and its science-technology building, completed in 1995, houses up-to-date laboratories and classrooms. The on-campus hangar houses the Aviation Maintenance Technology program where students can get hands-on experience maintaining airplanes and helicopters.

The Sylvania Campus is located just 10 minutes from downtown Portland in southwest Portland between Lake Oswego and Tigard. The campus opened in 1968 and rests on a gently sloping hillside, bordered by a forest of Douglas firs, oaks, maples and alders. It offers breathtaking views of Tualatin Valley, Bull Mountain and the Oregon Coast Range.

Sylvania Campus offers students a dynamic and comprehensive array of college opportunities. The cornerstones of the campus are the library and performing arts center, both built in 1994. The library features the latest in learning resources while the nearby performing arts center is a fully equipped theater and dance venue.

The Sylvania Campus is home for the PCC nursing, and dental programs, which have national reputations for excellence. Sylvania also provides college transfer, professional and technical programs, and developmental education. The campus is large, but classes are small, so students are able to develop excellent teaching and learning relationships with their instructors.

The campus offers everything a student needs, and is especially known for its associate degree programs. Those include machine manufacturing technology, early childhood education, radiology, fitness technology, graphic design, sign language interpreter, computer technologies, automotive technology, drafting machine technology and more. The Sylvania Campus has a large number of student activities and excellent athletic facilities that include a track, swimming pool, state-of-the-art weight room and a large gym for indoor activities.
