University courses at Central Oregon Community College

In the spring of 1962, a 140-acre tract of land on the west side of Awbrey Butte was donated for the purposes of establishing COCC's main campus. Two additional smaller purchases increased the new COCC campus to a total of 193 acres that face a spectacular view of Oregon's Cascade mountain range. Construction began in 1963, and the first three buildings – Ochoco, Modoc, and Deschutes – were completed by the spring of 1964. In 1965, Jefferson, Metolius and Grandview Student Union were constructed. The following two years saw completion of Juniper Residence Hall, Pinckney Center for the Performing.

Today, Central Oregon Community College's 201-acre Bend campus offers quiet, peaceful surroundings for study and reflection. The campus includes 21 buildings with a total of 414,212 square feet under roof. The 10,000-square-foot Chandler Lab is located on a six-acre site nearby on Awbrey Butte.

Central Oregon Community College will be a leader in regionally and globally responsive adult, lifelong, postsecondary education for Central Oregon.
