Clackamas Community College (often called CCC by local residents) is a community college located in Oregon City, Oregon. It is located at the junction of Oregon State Route 213 and Molalla Avenue, nearly at the southern edge of the Portland, Oregon Metro Area. The college serves as a transfer point between the TriMet and South Clackamas Transportation District mass transit systems and is the site of a park and ride [1].
One of the college's most distinguishable traits is its commitment to campus safety and security. Through an agreement with the Sheriff of Clackamas County, campus safety officers are commissioned as special deputy sheriffs an as such its officers carry firearms making Clackamas Community College the only college in the state of Oregon whose officers carry real firearms.
CCC maintains three campuses: the central campus in Oregon City, Harmony Campus in Milwaukie, and the Wilsonville Campus.

[edit] Oregon City Campus
CCC's main campus is located at 19600 South Molalla Avenue in Oregon City. Established in 1968, it was the college's first permanent site after existing several years with classes held in temporary locations, usually Clackamas County high schools [2].
The Oregon City campus is comprised of the following buildings:
- Clairmont Hall - With a ground-breaking in June of 1968, Clairmont was the college's first permanent building. At first housing the entire school, it currently serves to house the Horticulture Department, the Criminal Justice Department, and the Driver Education Office[3].
- Barlow Hall - The second permanent building completed and the first building in what would come to be considered CCC's core area. Barlow is home to a variety of departments and classrooms, including Public Safety, Printing & Duplicating, Plant Services/Operations, Student Publications, Information Technology Services, Apprenticeship, Auto Mechanics, Auto Body and Refinishing, Parts Merchandising, Computer-Assisted Manufacturing, Machine Shop, Foreign Language, and various administrative offices[4].
- McLoughlin Hall - Named after Dr. John McLoughlin, this building currently houses Business/Computer labs, faculty offices, generic classrooms, and the school's bookstore. Until recent years, McLoughlin housed CCC's theater program. With the construction of the Niemeyer Center and the Osterman Theatre, the program moved out of the older building and has been replaced by various offices - including Campus Safety - and the theater has been converted to a lecture hall[5].
[edit] Harmony Campus
The Harmony Campus is located at 7616 S.E. Harmony Road in Milwaukie, Oregon.
