Lane Community College’s (LCC) Board of Directors voted unanimously to build a new, 80,000-square-foot academic building on the 10th and Charnelton site across from the Eugene Public Library.

While it is still in the early stages of development, the new LCC building plans on being a model of energy efficiency and green construction which will house the college’s green technology classes. LCC is committed to a strong downtown presence and will continue its current offerings, plus add access to training programs in health and alternative health care, energy management and renewable energy, and business development and employee training services.

The new facility would provide affordable access to job-training and small business development education in an innovative, “green” building with easy access to mass transit. The City is looking forward to a continued partnership with LCC to move this important development project forward.
