Why a Bond?
Rogue Community College spent a year assessing its facilities with industry experts and interviewing students and staff to identify impactful improvements. As a result of this process, the college’s four greatest areas of need were identified as:
1) Meeting Local Demand for Skilled Workers
The Career and Technical Education (CTE) facilities lack space for hands-on learning instruction and the ability to expand workforce training programs in fields like automotive, commercial truck driving, pre-nursing, welding, manufacturing and EMT that would serve our Rogue Valley employers and community.
2) Improving Safety and Security
All three campuses need crucial safety and security upgrades, like updated camera systems and enhanced lockdown capabilities.
3) Repairing Aging Buildings
The majority of the College’s buildings systems like roofs, siding and HVAC have reached the end of their usable life and require replacement.
4) Updating Outdated Learning Environments
Classrooms, labs and technology need important upgrades in order to support student workforce training.
