The Centro Cultural César Chávez was called the Chicano Cultural Center when it was established in 1972. Its original nine members met weekly in the basement of Milam Hall. Today the Centro is affiliated with 17 student organizations on campus and is a popular spot for many events, from cultural celebrations to social justice activities. This new building opened in 2014, funded with a combination of private gifts and university funds.

Note: Due to the relatively recent establishment of the CCCC, little information exists in archival form regarding the building itself.

Oregon Digital: Fact Books and General Catalogs include some stories and information regarding the CCCC.
