Salem Campus

You won't find a "typical" student at Chemeketa. Our students are all ages, from recent high school graduates to retired people. Some of our students attend full time, others attend part time. Many combine work and school.

In 1964, before Chemeketa, Salem Technical-Vocational School moved to our present site on Lancaster Drive, where a one-story brick building, a machine and welding shop, and a few temporary buildings soon made up the campus. Over time, we added buildings as our student body has expanded. Today, our main campus sits on 176 acres and has 44 buildings.

The best way to get to know our campus is to let one of our students give you a tour. Visitor parking permits are available from the Information Booth in front of the main entrance to Building 2 or in Building 2 at the Public Safety Office. Stop by the Welcome Center in Building 2, fill out the Request for Information form, or call 503.399.3995 to schedule a tour.
