Industry supporters
The Building Construction Technology department is proud to have the support of many of the major industry players in the greater Portland / Vancouver / Hillsboro area. Many of the companies listed here have contributed directly to our program, by serving on our Industry Advisory Board, or by providing guest lecturers, or hosting site visits, or hosting interns. The program would not be nearly as strong without this generous support. Thank you.
Industry supporter in focus
Lisa Lipe, LMC Construction
Lisa is an Associate Project Manager at LMC Construction. Lisa has been with LMC since 2017, when she graduated from our Construction Management program. As a student, Lisa volunteered to help with curriculum development, because she is an excellent communicator. As a construction industry professional, Lisa uses her communication skills every day. Lisa joined the construction industry later in life. She did not enter our program at PCC until she was in her 50s. Lisa leveraged the skills she learned in her prior career in healthcare (critical thinking, research, organizational skills, patience, persistence) and has found success with LMC. Lisa, like other BCT graduates, regularly returns to classes to share her experiences with students. Thanks Lisa!
