Lewis & Clark College, Private educational institution in Portland, United States
Lewis & Clark College is a private educational institution in Portland spread across roughly 137 acres on Palatine Hill. The campus borders a state natural area and includes both older architectural structures and contemporary teaching facilities.
The institution began in 1867 in Albany and moved to its present location in 1938. The current name was adopted four years later.
The campus name honors the explorers who led the early 19th-century expedition to the Pacific. Students gather in buildings that range from historic structures to newer facilities.
The campus is accessible by public transport and offers free shuttle services for students to destinations across the city. Visitors should note that the grounds sit on a hillside with some steep sections.
The institution sources all its electricity from wind power and applies sustainability certification standards to every new building. This approach shapes everyday life on the grounds.
