TriMet Bus Maintenance Facility

Built as a temporary facility more than 45 years ago, the TriMet Powell Garage was in need of modernization to improve safety, increase capacity and improve employee well-being. Construction of the new bus maintenance facility included a phased rebuild of the entire 17-acre site, all while keeping it active and operational.The first phase involved building a new 24,000-square-foot, three-bay fuel and wash building, which houses a bus wash system that reclaims and treats water, allowing TriMet to recycle 300 gallons of water per minute.

The second phase more than doubled the original bus maintenance area. The facility has 22 bus maintenance bays and a new 400,000-square-foot, concrete-paved bus yard that can accommodate more than 300 buses. A second story was constructed to create more office space and staff amenities, including a new fitness center, training rooms and spacious break area. The project also added 215 surface parking spaces for employees.

It was essential to maintain uninterrupted operation of the facility amid the demolition and replacement of nearly all existing structures. JE Dunn implemented a timely and consistent communication strategy to ensure all team members understood the plan before work began.

Great care had to be taken to avoid disturbing the main fiberoptic utility feeding Portland’s 911 Call Center, which ran directly through TriMet’s site. The project team successfully relocated the fiber into an underground vault system, and then continued to work around the fiber during mass excavation, foundations and underground utilities without interrupting 911 service at any point during the four-year project.

The facility’s electrification supports TriMet’s commitment to having a 100 percent zero-emission fleet by 2040 and the upgrade allows the facility to power electric buses. New articulated buses, which can hold 60 percent more riders than the 40-foot buses, also will operate out of the site.

Aggressive and creative efforts made by JE Dunn during the bidding process and preconstruction led to successful COBID participation on the project. During the bid packaging process prior to bid, a major focus was on how to create bid packages that were well-suited to minority and disadvantaged business enterprises in the community. This included creating smaller bid packages, as well as dividing some packages that would typically be combined, to allow for more specialized small businesses to be competitive.

It also included sit-down meetings with larger and GMP trade partners to ensure they understood participation requirements, some of whom were somewhat inexperienced with such requirements. JE Dunn introduced them to COBID firms in the community, creating relationships and turning those relationships into project partnerships.

In the end, the project achieved more than 26 percent participation by COBID firms.

Rockwood Village addresses the need for affordable housing in the heart of the Rockwood neighborhood in Gresham. The project was designed to embrace and engage Oregon’s youngest, most diverse and fastest-growing district. The median age is 27, and more than 60 languages are spoken.

There are four four-story buildings, one three-story building and a central, freestanding community building that collectively provides 224 apartment homes that range from one- to four-bedroom units. Each unit boasts Energy Star appliances, LED lighting, integrated AC window ports, and low-flow plumbing fixtures. To date, about 53.1 percent of the property’s units have been leased to BIPOC households.

The community building includes a large gathering space with a full kitchen for events and social interaction, along with audio visual equipment that provides community space for seminars or workshops. The outdoor area boasts a spacious children’s play area, various walking paths and picnic areas, as well as community gardens and an urban farm. Rockwood Village also frames and connects the area’s newest public square, called Neighbors’ Park, which encourages residents to get outside and experience the Pacific Northwest’s unmatched beauty.

Other key aspects of Rockwood Village were developed through an approach known as Asset Based Community Development, facilitated by Portland State University’s Center for Public Interest Design. This “ABCD” approach helps identify and understand community and program needs, then focuses on filling in missing components and leveraging community resources.

Rockwood Village was built to accommodate households as their needs change. The combination of a single community building, a housing complex and the proximity to Neighbors’ Park and public transportation demonstrates a commitment to not just creating an affordable living space, but building a supportive and robust community.

Start: June 2021
Completion: June 2022
Owner/Developer: city of Eugene
Owner’s representative: Shiels Obletz Johnsen
Main Tenant: Lane County Farmers Market
Architect: Cameron McCarthy Gilbert, FFA Architecture + Interiors
Engineer: Mazzetti, PAE
General Contractor: Lease Crutcher Lewis
Submitting Company: Lease Crutcher Lewis

The Farmers Market Pavilion and Plaza has breathed new life back into the downtown core of Eugene and will help encourage economic growth for the quaint, yet vibrant community for many years to come. The ‘town square’ concept utilizes the downtown park blocks and creates a permanent home for both the Lane County Farmers Market and Eugene Saturday Market. To ensure the project incorporated the community’s vision, there were nearly 10,000 people that provided feedback through surveys, attendance at stakeholder and public events, and via email and social outreach. The goal was to create a pavilion that was inclusive yet unique to Eugene, where people could feel a sense of community and belonging.

Inspired by the simplicity of greenhouses, the design utilizes polycarbonate and glass facades that light up the building at night. There is a large market hall indoors, along with a demonstration kitchen, storage, and all-user restrooms. There are large glass roll-up doors, and the pavilion interior was crafted with a mass timber wood structure composed of cross-laminated timber (CLT) fabricated by local, family-owned business DR Johnson.

Colored concrete, carefully crafted in a mosaic pattern, along with native trees strategically placed throughout, brings an artsy warmth to the space. To ensure ADA accessibility and walkability, the team used a Silva Cell system beneath the trees so the tree roots can expand below grade. In addition, the plaza features a demonstration pollinator garden, lush with native plant species that attract bees.

The site originally held a parking garage demolished before construction could begin. The demolition contractor crushed all concrete from the parking garage and reused it on-site. This amount of concrete provided the base fill for the project site. The team partnered with BRING, one of the nation’s oldest non-profit building recyclers, who took material that couldn’t be reused on-site, such as pavers and cyclone fencing, to resell for builders in need.

Lincoln Cardinal students and faculty flocked to a new “nest” this past fall when their 292,000-square-foot high school opened. The six-story urban “high-rise” building is designed to accommodate a surge in student population in Portland Public Schools.

Hoffman Construction completed the project in a joint venture with COBID-certified Pacificmark Construction. Despite COVID, wildfires and supply chain challenges, Hoffman-Pacificmark delivered the project on budget and on schedule.

The school was built on the athletic fields at one end of the school’s campus to allow students to occupy the old facility during construction. Stringent safety protocols and intensive preconstruction planning protected students on the active campus.

The new building includes specialized classrooms for 2D and 3D fine arts, adjacent flex spaces, STEM labs and a maker space. The building has a variety of sustainability features and innovative wayfinding to help students and staff navigate the “high-rise” wing of the school. New athletic facilities include a 1,700-seat main gym, auxiliary gym, weight room, wrestling/dance room, and a new track and field. Primary features include a new commons and outdoor plaza at the main entrance.

The team worked with Portland’s Regional Arts and Culture Council on a large mural that fronts the building. Also included are a new 500-seat auditorium, black box theatre, dedicated band and choir classrooms, and associated practice rooms, along with a career technical education space.

Providing opportunities for COBID-certified construction firms was a key project goal. Pacificmark, an MBE, managed 22 percent of the overall work. The firm mentors small MBE/SBE firms and played an important role in preconstruction. PPS’s goal for the project was 18 percent COBID firm participation and Hoffman-Pacificmark set a goal of 22 percent, with the added goal of engaging women and people of color in 20 percent of apprenticeships. Ultimately the project provided abundant opportunities for growing capacity and skills for diverse workers and firms, surpassing PPS’s diversity goals and ensuring the school was built by people who represent the community it serves.

Vancouver Clinic, the largest private, multispecialty clinic in Clark County, has an 80-year legacy in southwest Washington. With more than 1,200 employees and 400 providers, the clinic has seen rapid growth, building three new clinics in just five years. To date, the newest three-story, 80,000-square-foot space is the most advanced, built to serve the rapidly growing population. Constructed in just 19.5 months, the first floor features a 13-exam-room urgent care facility, two triage rooms, a CT and X-ray room, and a physical therapy center.

The second floor houses a pain man-agement procedure suite, as well as 39 exam rooms and three X-ray rooms with room for a fourth later. This area will primarily cater to patients needing access to medical care in the areas of orthopedics, physical therapy, podiatry, and sports medicine.

The third floor boasts six operating rooms with 18 pre/post operative rooms for same-day surgeries. In addition, there is an expanded sterile processing department.
The building’s HVAC system features two dedicated and redundant air handlers, and state-of-the-art ceiling operating room systems that include prefabricated supply air diffusers and ultraviolet light sterilization systems.

Additionally, the facility uses surgical robots and visual and graphics for the operating suites. To ensure that the building design was functional and to get boots-on-the-ground feedback, the team conducted mockups, site walks and progress reviews with key staff members.

The project was completed with a team-oriented Progressive Design-Build approach, where the relationship between the design team, TVC and Andersen was crucial to delivering the project within the schedule. The team relied heavily on relationships developed through the previous two successful projects in this series. Despite some weather delays and issues with procuring materials, The Vancouver Clinic –Salmon Creek 2 finished ahead of schedule and under budget.

Founded more than 150 years ago, Oregon Humane Society has established itself as one of the country’s most respected animal welfare organizations. The New Road Ahead project required out-of-the-box thinking and the approach that “no detail was too small to question.” The project goal: to combine a comprehensive veterinary hospital for the community, a highly specialized animal crimes forensics center, an adaptable rescue space, and a spacious location that supports innovative approaches to animal behavior modification. The result is an innovative space that will take the organization through many generations of animal rescue and rehabilitation.

This 71,000-square-foot expansion en-compasses two buildings: one houses the Community Veterinary Hospital and the Animal Crimes Forensics Center, and the other houses the Behavior Modification and Rescue Center. The site is next to OHS’s existing shelter and expands the campus from one building to three.

The Behavior Modification and Rescue Center building (BRC) includes 68 new kennels for animals to rest. The BRC rehabilitation facilities also include four “Real Life Rooms,” which simulate human-occupied spaces with furniture, TVs and a toy bin. Also, a large training room offers a staircase that helps teach dogs how to go up landings and to walk on leashes.

The Animal Crimes Forensics Center is only the second of its kind in the United States, supporting investigations for criminal cases in a science-based facility that may be used in animal abuse cases or trials.

Throughout each phase of the process, the team viewed things through the lens of the animals. For example, polished concrete mockups were compared to determine which one was the most subtle, as to calm the most skittish animals. Fiberglass doors and wall paneling were used throughout because it can withstand animal wear and tear. Acoustic panels were installed to dampen noise, and inverted truss design allowed for high-clerestory windows that funneled natural light into rescue pods while dispersing sound.

With significant growth happening in Clark County – especially in the greater Ridgefield area – roads are seeing higher volumes of traffic and activity. Such is the case for the NE 10th Avenue Project, which aimed to improve access from Salmon Creek to the popular Clark County Fairgrounds.

Before construction began on 10th Avenue, there were only two lanes with no shoulder, limited visibility of oncoming traffic, and the road was unable to keep traffic moving during peak flow times. The project aimed to widen the street to two travel lanes with a center left turn lane, as well as add bicycle lanes and sidewalks. It also included the addition of a traffic signal to improve traffic flow. The project required a complete reconstruction of 10th Avenue from 149th Street to 154th Street.

This stretch of road is strategically located near a creek bed, where high water conditions and other environmental issues needed to be considered. The most critical part of the project was elevating the road 20 feet over an unnamed Whipple Creek outlet. This required detailed planning on how to best preserve and work within the wetland area, while ensuring erosion control methods were followed. To develop the nearby embankment, the teams placed 32,350 cubic yards of gravel borrow, which secured the foundation of the new roadway. Construction teams also used 13,600 cubic yards of deep soil mixing, which helped increase the stability of the area. More than 4,055 tons of asphalt pavement was placed during final paving which finished the roadway over the creek.

With new retaining walls, a culvert that draws attention to the creek and wetland, and a wider, more stable road that welcomes pedestrians, vehicles, and bikes, the area now provides improved access to the area without the need to travel on Interstate 5.

Founded five decades ago, TriMet has played a key role in the growth of Portland and its surrounding area. To meet the growing transportation needs of Oregonians, TriMet has expanded its vital services significantly over the years, yet the TriMet Powell Garage – built 45 years ago as a temporary facility – remained mostly unchanged. Constructing a new bus maintenance facility was needed to improve safety and increase capacity.

This four-year project included a phased rebuild of the entire 17-acre site, while maintaining uninterrupted public transit service. The first phase included building a 24,000-square-foot, three-bay fuel and wash building that featured a bus wash system that recycles up to 300 gallons of water a minute.

The second phase involved expanding the original bus maintenance area to include 22 maintenance bays and a 400,000-square-foot concrete bus yard that can accommodate more than 300 buses. To support the increase of new electric-powered buses and to provide charging stations for them, electrical service enhancements and structural upgrades were required in the bus storage and maintenance area. The second story of this building augmented office space and added more amenities, including a training room, roof-top patio, bigger employee break room, a new fitness center, and the addition of more than 200 parking spaces.

The larger space – along with its focus on sustainability and efficiency – will serve the community for decades to come. In total, the project will accommodate 50 percent more buses, including larger buses that align with TriMet’s initiative of having a 100 percent zero-emission fleet of electric buses by 2040.

Rose Villa Senior Living completed a functional expansion on the urban core of its 22-acre garden campus. The four-year project incorporated sustainable features, uniquely prioritized environmental stewardship, and focused on creating a place that is healthy for staff, residents and nature.

The project added two new buildings at its south end – Schroeder Lofts and Madrona Grove. At first glance, Madrona Grove, a four-story, steel-framed building with a two-story licensed residential long-term care facility, and Schroeder Lofts, a five-story, wood-framed, multi-use building, may seem like separate projects. However, they are connected below grade and were designed, permitted and constructed together as one. The buildings surround a shared landscaped courtyard that serves as an outdoor room, which encourages social interaction and outdoor living, and creates further dialogue between buildings.

This project prioritized the quality of life for people that live, work and visit here. One way that the team did this was by incorporating as much natural daylight as possible into the design. Hence, there are south-facing sunrooms on each floor of the Madrona Grove building and the Schroeder Lofts have decks or patios for outdoor living, floor-to-ceiling window walls in the living spaces, and shared outdoor amenity spaces.

Sustainability also was key, demonstrated with use of low-flow fixtures, LED lighting, R-values in walls and roofs that are above code requirements, and tinting of the windows to enhance efficiency for the mechanical heating and cooling systems. The landscaping focuses on native plant integration and aims to meet Backyard Habitat Certification Gold requirements.

The use of ROSIE (Recycled Organic “Stuff” is Everywhere), a system that recycles greywater in Schroeder Lofts, is one of the most notable sustainable features, the first-of-its-kind in the Portland senior living marketplace. The system is a water conservation approach that is designed to reduce the use of potable water for things like toilet flushing and irrigation and will save approximately 303,214 gallons of potable water per year.

The Nike name is synonymous with innovation and one of its newest struc-tures – the Serena Williams Building – demonstrates the company’s commitment to community, sustainability and one-of-a-kind designs. The 1,000,000-square-foot project – which took a total of five years from beginning to end – is a workplace for 2,500 occupants. It is the largest building at Nike World Headquarters in Beaverton. The building houses Nike’s Consumer Creation team: design teams, consumer insight teams, women’s, men’s and children’s teams, and apparel and footwear product merchandising teams.

The LEED-platinum certified structure has four key components: an underground parking garage and loading dock; integrated design studios; a 12-story tower with shared campus amenities; and a merchandising center for prototyping retail spaces. The Serena Williams building is the first of its kind for Nike, allowing products to move through all stages of the lifecycle in one building – sketch, prototype, final design, to retail fixture.

Informal outdoor spaces are scattered throughout the area to foster community building amongst occupants and to promote unity with nature, including courtyard gardens, plazas and a sunken tennis court. Inside, people can enjoy the aesthetics of exposed concrete, skylights, views of the wetland from workspaces, and five food and beverage venues.

Designers for each Nike brand are on a single level, while services stack vertically between levels. To further conserve Earth’s resources, the building design incorporates several environmentally friendly features. Stormwater is collected and re-distributed to the area’s surrounding wetland, 260 kw photovoltaic panels are found along the building’s roofs, and rainwater is reused for toilet flushing.

And, as the building name suggests, the life story and career accomplishments of Serena Williams are displayed throughout the various studios.
