Welcome to Lane’s virtual Downtown Campus! 

We are excited about the prospect of constructing a new, signature building at 10th and Charnelton, across from the Eugene Public Library. 

This campus will allow the college to increase training and services to students at an accessible, convenient location while meeting sustainability goals and helping the city achieve much needed downtown revitalization. 

Our feasibility study calls for a 90,000 square foot campus that models energy and design innovations. We are planning to consolidate current downtown offerings—continuing education, business development and training, and senior programming—and add energy management and renewable energy training programs, whose students could use the building itself as a green technology learning lab. 

The current estimated cost of the project is $35 million, funded by $9 million from the voter-approved bond, $8 million from the state, $8 million from the city, and $5 million in tax credits. The remaining $5 million would be a combination of state and federal tax credits, energy tax credits, and federal grants. 

Depending on final funding, the college could launch a fast-track construction schedule and open in fall 2012. 

Let’s build it together!
