2011 - Madras, Oregon

Following almost a decade of planning and anticipation, Central Oregon Community College has opened its brand new Madras Campus in time for the fall term – with local residents already rushing to fill initial class offerings at Jefferson County’s first permanent college facility.

The $2 million, 10,000 square foot facility, which has emerged just north of Jefferson Middle School on Ashwood Road, was made possible by a land donation by the Bean Foundation – with additional property totaling up to 45 acres also available for future campus expansion – together with funds from the 2009 voter-approved COCC Bond measure.
