Years of planning and construction are on display in Portland Community College’s Oregon Manufacturing Innovation Training Center as it opens for classes this summer and credit offerings are planned to start this fall.

Mortenson Construction was the general contractor on the project. PCC chose a Progressive Design-Build Project delivery. Construction started in fall of 2019.

The training center is the educational arm of the nearby Oregon Manufacturing Innovation Center (OMIC) initiative聽 鈥� a collaboration of industry, higher education and government that combines applied research and development and workforce training. PCC’s facility is traditionally known as the OMIC Training Center and is located at the college’s Columbia County Center (34001 NE Wagner Ct. in Scappoose).

It officially opens on Monday, Aug. 16, with a free, five-week series of 鈥淥n-Ramp to Manufacturing鈥� classes that are designed for people interested in working in advanced manufacturing.
