News Release

Umpqua Community College To Host Open House For Downtown Woolley Center And SBDC Relocation (Photo) - 05/19/26

ROSEBURG, Ore. — Umpqua Community College will host an open house Wednesday, May 20, to celebrate the relocation and renovation of the Woolley Center and the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) in downtown Roseburg.

 

The event will take place from 4 to 6 p.m. at 729 SE Jackson St. Guests are asked to enter through the building’s front entrance on Jackson Street.

 

Community members will have the opportunity to tour the newly remodeled space and learn more about the programs and services offered through both centers. Refreshments will be provided.

 

The relocation places the Woolley Center and SBDC in a centralized downtown location designed to improve access to educational resources, workforce preparation and business support services for students, entrepreneurs and community members.

 

“We are excited to continue investing in downtown Roseburg and creating spaces that reflect opportunity, innovation and community connection,” Pokrandt said. “This beautiful facility allows us to better serve students and local businesses while expanding access to critical resources.”

 

The building, formerly home to Newberry’s Department Store now includes student housing on the upper floors known as “Hawk’s Hideaway.” During the open house, guided tours of the student housing area will be offered in 15-minute intervals beginning at 4 p.m. Participants should meet near the elevator entrance to join a tour led by a student guide. Tours are limited to five people at a time and will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.

 

The Woolley Center serves as UCC’s College and Career Readiness program, helping students prepare for GED exams, improve English language skills, and strengthen academic foundations in reading and math. The program also provides advising and support services for individuals pursuing college, career or military pathways.

 

The SBDC is part of the statewide Oregon Small Business Development Center Network and provides free business advising, workshops and technical assistance for entrepreneurs, startups and established businesses.

 

For more information about the event, contact Umpqua Community College at 541-440-4603 or visit umpqua.edu.
