1997: Redmond Campus Opens.
Brainstorming began in 1991, when Deschutes County, the city of Redmond and COCC started looking at the possibilities for a college training facility in Redmond.
An initial hurdle was somewhat unusual in the world of siting a college campus: obtaining clearance from the Federal Aviation Administration. “Redmond was looking at property across the street from the airport,” says Alan Unger, former Redmond mayor and now a COCC board member. This freed the city to pass the property to COCC: an industrial parcel in the form of about 25 acres of High Desert blank canvas. Work got underway, and “Building #1” opened to an excited community in 1997. That first year saw the equivalent of 99 full-time students.
