   2. Longhouse

      Longhouse (Building 31)

      Ever wanted to learn to speak Chinuk Wawa, attend a powwow, get involved in the Native American Student Association, or take ethnic studies classes? Then you’ll likely be spending time in Lane’s beautiful Native American longhouse.

      The building is totally unique on campus, being constructed from 16 Douglas fir logs that measured 12 feet long by 20 inches in diameter. The timber is from the Coquille Forest in Southwest Oregon and was donated and blessed by the Coquille Tribe before being turned at a mill in Molalla. The result is a breath-taking structure of 6200 square feet with a large meeting space (Hall of Honor), space for classrooms, full kitchen facilities and dressing areas off of the rest rooms for dancers to dress in regalia, and administration offices.

      If you wander outside, you’ll find a story telling and teaching circle surrounded by carved cedar totems which honor the armed forces of the United States. Whether or not an event is planned, the story telling circle is worth a visit—feel your worries easing as you sit in this peace-filled space.

   3. Building 30

      Health and Wellness Center (Building 30)

      The Health and Wellness building, as it is known around campus, is the hub of the college’s many health, medical and, fitness related programs: dental assisting, dental hygiene, emergency medical technician, fitness & lifestyle specialist, health information management, medical assistant, nursing, paramedicine and physical therapist assistant. It houses specialized labs for the physical therapy assistant, nursing, and fitness & lifestyle specialist programs, each outfitted with sophisticated equipment for students to practice procedures and develop the skills necessary for the workplace. You’ll also find group study rooms, faculty offices, and classrooms.

      But even if you are not in one of the health professions, the building’s atrium has casual seating space to meet with friends.

      If you step out in the courtyard, you’ll find a stunning sculpture—be sure to stand in the center. Afterward, find a seat on one of the benches surrounded by elegant rain gardens. These plants have more purpose than just beauty—the gardens capture and treat 90% of the rainfall that falls on the roof of Building 30 and on the grounds surrounding the building. As the rain slowly infiltrate into the ground,  natural biological processes breakdown the pollutants and clean the water before it reaches waterways.

   4. Track, Soccer & Baseball Fields

      Track, Soccer & Baseball Fields
      The Lane Track & Field is home to the OSAA State Cross Country Championship each fall. The field is IAAF Certified Olympic-Calibur Surface. In addition to being the location for all the track & field competitions, it is also the site for Lane recreational classes, community and high school sporting events. This is also where our soccer and baseball fields are located. In 2018, the women's soccer team clinched a playoff spot for the 11th year in a row and since 2013 twelve Titan baseball players have been drafted to the MLB.
