HERMISTON
— The City of Hermiston donated 6.8 acres of land for a
new building that will house classrooms, labs and offices to
support the further collaboration between Blue
Mountain Community College
and Eastern Oregon
University. The new center, across the street from
BMCC’s two-building campus, will support continued growth
in the region and offer upper-division classes through EOU.
Some money for the center, $500,000, was included as part of
the 2005 federal transportation bill, and the two schools are
working to finalize plans and secure the rest of the
funding.
