Geography and Layout
The main campus of LCC is located in central Lane County between south Eugene and Springfield, just west of I-5. It consists of 20 main classroom buildings and numerous secondary buildings. Due to the hilly campus terrain, upper floors on the north end of the campus are at an elevation slightly below ground floor on the south end. The Center Building houses the library, bookstore, cafeteria, writing center, and the majority of the English and language classrooms. Enrollment Services, the campus student center for enrollment and bookkeeping, is located in Building 1, as is Counseling and Advising, The Women's Center, The Multi-Cultural Center, Disability Resources, The TRiO Learning Center, and ASLCC Student Government and Legal Services.
LCC's campus is fully accessible for wheelchairs and the mobility impaired, and there is a network of concrete bridges that connect neighboring buildings. Parking surrounds the campus buildings on three sides, while athletic facilities such as the track, soccer field, and baseball field cover the north side of the campus. Entering campus from the west side lot, there is a courtyard that once contained a large concrete fountain but later was turned into a flat maze garden speckled with native plants surrounding a small stone fountain in the center.
The west and south sides of campus consist of evergreen forest, which includes walking trails that are often used for physical education and biology classes.
LCC also has satellite campuses in downtown Eugene, Cottage Grove, and Florence.

Famous quotes containing the words geography and and/or geography:
“The totality of our so-called knowledge or beliefs, from the most casual matters of geography and history to the profoundest laws of atomic physics or even of pure mathematics and logic, is a man-made fabric which impinges on experience only along the edges. Or, to change the figure, total science is like a field of force whose boundary conditions are experience.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
“Where the heart is, there the muses, there the gods sojourn, and not in any geography of fame. Massachusetts, Connecticut River, and Boston Bay, you think paltry places, and the ear loves names of foreign and classic topography. But here we are; and, if we tarry a little, we may come to learn that here is best. See to it, only, that thyself is here;—and art and nature, hope and fate, friends, angels, and the Supreme Being, shall not absent from the chamber where thou sittest.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
