Lane Community College Industry and Trades Education Center
The Project
Lewis built a 55,000-square-foot, LEED Silver workforce training center at LCC, uniting trades programs under one roof. The mass plywood and steel structure features flexible labs, industry-grade equipment and space for future growth. Delivered under a 2020 bond, the project supports hands-on learning in construction, manufacturing and UAS technologies.
About
The facility brings together LCC’s electrical and plumbing apprentices, previously spread across campus into a unified, hands-on learning environment. Apprentices train side by side using industry-standard equipment, gaining real-world experience and a deeper understanding of how their work connects with other trades.

Inside the Project
To address the skilled labor shortage and invest in their community, voters in Lane County passed a $121 million bond in 2020 to support vocational retraining and career technical education through enhancements to Lane County Community College.
This represents the largest investment in LCC since its founding six decades ago. The centerpiece project is the Industry and Trades Education Center, a new three-story, 55,000-square-foot workforce and advanced-technology training hub on LCC’s main campus in Eugene. LCC will begin moving equipment into the building in November and classes will begin winter term.
