We are also investigating the possibility of moving print copies of theses to another institution's collection. For more information, please see the Library's FAQ page.
What will happen to the Concordia University - Portland campus after the university closes?
The Northeast campus has been part of the Portland community for more than a hundred years.

We expect they will seek a buyer for the 24-acre campus property.
