This innovative joint project offers additional professional development opportunities for students, stimulates local economic growth, and fosters new public-private partnerships.
The Vanport Building houses classrooms for PSU’s College of Education, the OHSU-PSU School of Public Health, PCC’s Dental Hygiene and Dental Assisting programs, as well as PCC’s Institute for Health Professionals Dental Health Education non-credit program. It also includes offices for the city’s Bureau of Planning and Sustainability, PCC’s free dental clinic, low-cost mental health services, as well as ground-floor retail and restaurants.
