History
The Eugene Vocational School was established in the 1930’s to provide manual education and training to high school students and unemployed adults. In the 1950’s, community-oriented adult education classes were added, and local educational leaders recognized the need to expand into a regional institution that would better serve the diverse needs of the wider community. Following the October 1964 election, Lane Community College was founded by a vote of local citizens, and the main campus opened in 1968. Lane’s second campus opened in Florence in 1976, and the Cottage Grove and Downtown Eugene campuses opened a year later.
Lane’s nationally renowned radio station, KLCC, was established in 1967, and is the most powerful public radio station signal in Oregon! KLCC is a charter member of NPR, serving more that 88,000 listeners each week. Lane has housed the Oregon Small Business Development Center Network since 1984. In 2016, Lane’s SBDC generated more than $1.7 million in capital for the community, created 107 jobs, helped start 13 new businesses, and provided free and low-cost classes for the business community. In 2010, Lane became the second community college in the country to house a Longhouse and annually hosts one of the largest powwows in the Pacific Northwest! Since 2006, Lane has offered Chinuk WaWa, an indigenous language specific to the Pacific Northwest.
