A new mass timber building at the University of Oregon’s Portland campus aims to train a new workforce and advance a new model of childcare.

The two-story, 54,000-square-foot will replace four outdated buildings at the UO Portland campus, 2800 N.E. Liberty St.

The new building will house the Ballmer Institute and Prevention Science Institute.

“The mission of the building is one of the main inspirations for the project,” said Braulio Baptista, design partner at ZGF Architects. “It’s humbling to be part of the design of a project that will carry out such important work.”

The building, currently under construction, replaces four recently demolished buildings totaling 44,000 square feet.

According to the university, Elizabeth and Weber halls were used as student housing when Concordia operated the campus before UO purchased it in 2022. The adjoining building, Mary Neils, served as administrative office space. The fourth building was a vacant, single-family house.

The UO Portland project was designed by ZGF Architects. The project team also includes civil engineer CAPITAL Engineering & Consulting LLC, structural engineer KPFF, mechanical engineer PAE, landscape architect Walker Macy and general contractor Skanska.

Launched in 2022 through a lead gift from Connie and Steve Ballmer, the Ballmer Institute for Children’s Behavioral Health includes a training program that equips students with the skills to identify behavioral health challenges early and implement interventions that prevent issues from escalating.

The facility will allow the UO to enroll up to 300 students annually in their final two years of the program, according to a UO press release.

The three components of the programming are education, research and clinical training. With the new building, the Ballmer Institute and the Prevention Science Institute will have their first identifiable physical location, Baptista said. The Ballmer Institute has previously been operating in a variety of buildings throughout the Portland campus and nearby since its launch in 2022.

The inclusive design will include welcoming spaces for children and families to access free behavioral health services, modernized classrooms and instructional spaces, a behavioral health clinic and a telehealth center to deliver services to youth in underserved and rural communities across the state. The design will include elements of biophilia – design centered on natural element, including plants – and plenty of daylight.

Baptista said it was important to find a balance between institutional and familial elements in the design.

“It will be a mass timber building, which we’re very excited about,” Baptista said, adding that it will be the first new mass timber building on the campus. “The interior of the building will leverage as much of the mass timber as possible to add warmth.”

The exterior materials are primarily metal with custom corrugation. Baptista said the metal emulates the reddish stones of the brick building elsewhere on the campus.

The main organization of the building creates a central space, called the student hub.

“We have research, education and clinical spaces that sort of pinwheel around the central space, creating a very clearly demarcated heart to the building where everybody comes together,” Baptista said.

From that space, students can go into classrooms or research wings.

Baptista said privacy is an important consideration in a building like this, particularly in the training clinic and research areas. There were strict requirements for sound isolation between rooms, from intervention rooms to telehealth spaces.

Baptista said the building’s location was chosen from the master plan, which ZGF helped with, that will create the fourth defining edge to the central quad of the campus. Baptista said it will be kitty-corner from the library, which currently acts as a center piece of the campus.

Landscaping includes a sensory garden and other areas of respite.

The project is expected to cost $83 million. Funding includes $53 million from the state, a $15 million lead gift by the Tykeson Family Foundation and additional gifts of $5 million from other donors, according to the UO.

Construction broke ground June 11 and is expected to be complete in early 2029.

Construction crews have broken ground on a new 17,000-square-foot police station in Molalla.

Mackenzie designed the facility for the city of Molalla, as well as the interiors, civil engineering, structural engineering, traffic engineering, land use planning and landscape design for the project. The project team also includes MEP Interface Engineering and general contractor P&C Construction.

The project began in 2012 when former Police Chief Rod Lucich expressed the need for a new station, according to the project’s website. In 2015, the city purchased the Molalla Bowl building at 150 Grange Ave. The building was demolished in 2023, Mackenzie project manager David Linton said in an email.

The new facility will replace an aging and undersized police station, currently located in Molalla City Hall, at 117 N Molalla Ave. The current facility, formerly the fire department, was renovated to become the city hall and police department. It was built prior to 1950 and has about 2,300 square feet of work/office space, Linton stated.

The new facility will also function as an emergency operations center for public safety crisis response. Thomas Peck, Mackenzie project designer, said in an email that the new station will be an essential facility designed for resilience.

“The organization of the facility and site was designed to create a more civically engaging relationship with the community,” Peck stated. “It will reinforce the presence of law enforcement and the public safety building as a resource for everyone in Molalla.”

The building has been designed to maintain a natural separation for security, with public interface prioritized along the street and secure operations and parking behind it. A public entry plaza correlates with nearby neighborhood public parks and visually connects visitors to a public-facing lobby and community room.

Peck said that the facility utilizes a structural brick to create a resilient and secure exterior envelope for the main operation footprint. A transparent and inviting approach has been taken for the public-interfacing portion of the building that fronts the street. A hybrid structural system of steel and cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels has been utilized for the building lobby, records office and community room to showcase Molalla’s heritage in the timber industry and provide a warm character with extensive overhangs to shelter and welcome visitors, Peck stated.

Additionally, wood reclaimed from the bowling lanes of Molalla Bowl has been salvaged to honor the site’s history. The wood is being used in custom wall panels that will house the Molalla Police Department’s emblem, as well as in custom seating within the lobby.

The total project cost is $16.8 million and is funded by a $16 million bond passed by voters in November 2023, as well as city money.

Construction began in August and is expected to be complete in late 2025.

A Portland State University science building is receiving a major remodel.

The structure known as Science Building 1 when it was constructed in 1967 included offices, teaching labs, and research labs. Now named the Vernier Science Center, it will still have those spaces following an approximately $66.65 million update but also feature a fresh look intended to draw people inside.

Bora Architecture & Interiors designed the project for PSU. Skanska is the general contractor.

Overall, the six-story building at 1025 S.W. Mill St. will decrease in size from 92,000 square feet to 90,000; however, the basement and the ground level will gain space. Some existing walls on the ground level will be removed and glass will be moved 8 feet farther outward. More use of glass will let more natural light into the building. The main floor will feature spaces to suit groups of students.

“We’ve got some ceiling elements that are made out of felt that will help absorb sound to make the space more appropriate for gatherings of students,” said Michael Tingley, Bora’s principal in charge.

Interior materials will include wood on the main level, fir panels around the solid walls near stairs and elevators, and white oak panels as cladding for a special, flexible classroom.

One of the key goals of the project was to create an environment that would draw more students from minority and indigenous backgrounds into science fields. Bora, through its design, worked to transform the character of the building to make it feel more inviting to those students and create spaces to help support them.

That effort began by engaging people of color and indigenous students in discussions. A group of students from minority backgrounds led an outreach process in which they met with faculty members, students, alumni, and incoming students who provided input on resources they need and challenges they face.

Through the outreach process, the project team learned that many of these students connect to families, have children of their own, or rely on a support network including parents or grandparents. The students wanted the building to feature space where their families would be welcome. Bora responded by incorporating a family lounge in its design.

Additional resources in the building will include spaces for tutoring and other support, lounging, and more, Tingley said.

An indigenous science lab will allow students to work with native plant materials and study how they are used for food and medicine. Audiovisual systems in the lab will allow teachers and students to collaborate with indigenous communities around the world.

“We’re making a space that’s intentionally less cold and sterile,” Tingley said. “We don’t have any white classrooms. We’re bringing color and more materiality into almost all the spaces in the building.”

The wayfinding system will be influenced by Pacific Northwest flora and fauna. The concept is for each building’s floor to connect to a specific ecological region, Tingley said. The basement level will be coastal marshland, the main floor will be the Willamette Valley (including a large-scale, deep planter with Pacific Northwest native species), and the theme will continue upward through Western Oregon, the plateau range, the high desert, and the Cascade highlands. The color palette for each floor will reflect those natural environments, beginning with greens on the lower levels up to blues on the top floor.

The project team is working with the state of Oregon on public art commissions for the building. Three artist teams with indigenous backgrounds will create elements for the main floor. These will include wood-carved items, a series of panels of Pacific Northwest indigenous textiles and patterns, and a series of hanging elements based on regional flower species.

The original building had rooftop greenhouses, which will not be maintained, Tingley said.

Selective demolition began last year and finished recently. Construction has begun and is estimated to finish by the end of May 2024.

A 61-unit affordable housing development is in the works for Portland’s Buckman neighborhood. is developing the project, called Francis + Clare Place, with partner Caritas Housing. The site is at 1131 S.E. Oak St.

will have 51 studios and 10 one-bedroom apartments. The complex will serve people who have experienced chronic homelessness and have complex physical and/or behavioral health challenges. Rents for the permanent supportive housing units will be subsidized by project-based vouchers.

Holst Architecture designed the project for Catholic Charities of Oregon/Caritas Housing. O’Neill/Walsh Community Builders will be the general contractor. The development team also includes development consultant Edlen & Co., and service providers Native American Rehabilitation Association and AfroVillage.

“Francis + Clare Place is an inspiring example of partnership between a local parish, affordable housing developers, nonprofit service providers, and the city of Portland to provide deeply affordable homes and robust services, having meaningful social impact in the Central Eastside District,” project principal Dave Otte stated in an email. “Holst is honored to have a part in creating this special place that will help so many of our neighbors in need that are experiencing housing insecurity.”

The location offers access to workforce training opportunities, grocery stores and convenience stores, bike routes, and frequent-service bus lines, Holst Architecture stated.

The building’s site is a small portion of the larger St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church property. The L-shaped building will sit north of at the corner of Southeast 11th Avenue and Oak Street. The site mirrors the shape of the building, which will be set back from the property line at the north and inside of the ‘L.’ That will allow pedestrians to access residential amenities and a loading space at the northwest corner, according to Otte.

Amenities will include a quiet room for relaxation, a community space that will double as a classroom, a laundry lounge and on-site offices for property management and supportive services.

The total project cost is approximately $21.6 million. Slightly more than $7.8 million of that amount is being covered by Portland housing bond funding, according to Catholic Charities of Oregon.

Construction is set to begin in late June and expected to finish in 13 months.

The post Affordable housing complex set to rise on church property appeared first on Daily Journal of Commerce.

A 15-story, 240-unit apartment building is in the works for Portland’s Lloyd District. Skyview on 7th will be located on two parcels at 701 and 777 N.E. Seventh Ave. Currently, the property is occupied by an office building and a vacant lot.

Mackenzie designed the project for Master Development. Turner Construction will serve as the general contractor.

The proposed building would include 14 stories of apartments with levels 2-6 holding 17 units each, levels 7-13 holding 20 units each, level 14 holding 10 units, and level 15 holding five units. To meet city inclusionary housing requirements, 35 would be affordable housing units.

The ground floor would provide residential amenities, while a community room, an amenity deck and an eco-roof would occupy the penthouse level. Driver access to the proposed below-grade garage would be provided from Northeast Irving Street.

Tom Peck, architect and design director at Mackenzie, wrote in an email that Skyview on 7th was designed with a tripartite approach – the base, middle and top are consistent with other structures in the Lloyd District.

Residential floors are being treated as two parallel masses; vertical windows would correspond to living and bedroom spaces within the units. The top floor’s eastern half would have a community room offering panoramic views of a rooftop garden and beyond.

The ground level would connect to the streetscape via clear glazing that promotes views to and from the public right-of-way. That level would include the northern entrance, leasing office, coworking space, the lounge/main lobby, a pool area, a workout space, a sports court, and bicycle storage at the south end.

Lighting would be incorporated into exterior canopies and at building entrances to illuminate pedestrian space. The glazing on the ground floor would continue vertically on the elevations along Northeast Oregon Street and Irving Street and divide the massing of the residential levels into two distinct elements.

Units on levels 14 and 15 would have recessed outdoor decks. The community room and the rooftop garden on the eastern half of level 15 would have panoramic views of Mount St. Helens to the north, Mount Hood to the east, and south-facing views of the Congressman Earl Blumenauer Bicycle and Pedestrian Bridge.

“The overall design has focused strongly on the abutting Green Loop to the east and the streetcar (tracks) to the north,” Peck said. “The ground floor of the building offers extensive windows and glazing to enhance the pedestrian realm with added visual emphasis on the southeast corner that will be visible from the Congressman Earl Blumenauer Bicycle and Pedestrian Bridge.”

Skyview on 7th is in the design review phase; the project team is scheduled to appear before the Portland Design Commission in mid-February. Construction is estimated to finish in 2025.

Construction crews have broken ground on a new Holgate Library, in Southeast Portland. The two-story, approximately 21,000-square-foot facility will be more than three times the size of the one it is replacing at the same site – 7905 S.E. Holgate Blvd.

Bora Architecture & Interiors designed the approximately $27 million project for Multnomah County Library. Swinerton is the general contractor.

The building’s butterfly shape is intended to help define the outdoor spaces, Bora principal Jeanie Lai said.

“We created a shape of a building that kind of steps back in the middle,” she said.

A public plaza will be in front of the building. Two entry points will come together to a lobby in the middle of the ground floor, where there will also be a children’s library space and two meeting spaces.

Upstairs, there will be a large reading room that features most of the library’s collection, a dedicated teen space, activity rooms, multiple flexible meeting rooms, murals, and a large skylight. The building was designed to provide visitors ample daylight and connections to nature.

New Orleans-based Colloqate Design, which has a Portland office, assisted Bora with community engagement for the project. The community design advocate shared design plans with community members and shared their feedback with Bora.

“It offers a more direct (approach) and probably opens up the conversation differently than if we were in the room,” Lai said.

A major focus of the project is sustainability. The building will feature sustainably harvested mass timber, which will reduce embodied carbon by over 75 percent, Lai said. Swinerton’s partner, Timberlab, is working to ensure the project team uses the mass-timber products efficiently. Equilibrium Engineers, the project’s structural engineer, is also familiar with mass timber.

“It’s really about making sure that you organize the building, like the spacing of the structure, so you are maximizing the use of the mass timber so you’re not cutting off and wasting product,” Lai said.

Mass-timber items will arrive premanufactured and be assembled on the site. Structural elements will be exposed, providing some warmth to the building, Lai added.

The project also includes rooftop solar panels and an optimized HVAC system. Many materials are being reused. A Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design gold rating is being targeted.

Swinerton broke ground on Jan. 6. The library is expected to reopen in spring 2024.

The Oregon Department of Human Services is preparing to open a new multiservice center in Brookings.

TVA Architects designed the facility for developer Rubicon Investments. Pence Construction, KPFF and Shapiro Didway are also project team members.

This will be the sixth ODHS multiservice center project for TVA Architects. The three-story, 23,000-square-foot building will be located at 1210 Chetco Ave. and hold offices for child welfare assistance, self-sufficiency programs and vocational rehabilitation services. Multiple state programs are included in a single building to improve community access.

Schematic design began in June 2022 and the project team is completing construction documents. Construction is expected to cost approximately $14.75 million. The total project cost was not readily available.

The Brookings building will have a unique shape, TVA Architects’ principal in charge Mandy Butler said.

“We are maximizing the buildable area on the site while still balancing the parking and landscape requirements,” she said.

One side of the building will have an unusual angle because of site constraints. The design team aimed to provide ample interior light and ocean views.

The team used sustainable design strategies, Butler said. The project team is targeting a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design rating, she added.

One of the design goals was to reinforce the principles of trauma-informed design as much as possible. The team sought to create spaces that have a sense of safety, individual control, dignity, some level of joy for all users, etc., Butler said. Elements involved included lighting, clear navigation, use of natural materials, and more.

The project team has completed multiservice centers in Roseburg, Gresham, and Klamath Falls. TVA Architects also worked with Pence Construction and a different project owner for a center in Portland.

“We’re working with the same team on a pretty significant renovation of the facility in Gold Beach,” Butler said.

TVA Architects also started design of a seventh facility of this type to serve Newport.

The Brookings facility will be a high-profile building, which Butler believes will become a community asset.

Construction is scheduled to begin in July 2023 and finish in November 2024.

A four-story, 87,742-square-foot housing development is in the works in Portland’s Cully neighborhood. The project – a collaboration of Portland Community College and Home Forward – will deliver 84 affordable apartments in a building along Northeast Killingsworth Street – on land now occupied by PCC’s Portland Metropolitan Workforce Training Center.

The existing training center, at 5600 N.E. 42nd Ave., will be demolished after staff moves into the new one now being built nearby. That will allow construction of the affordable housing project, which was designed by Hacker.

Home Forward, an independent government agency, is leasing approximately one acre of the PCC property to build and operate the housing complex. Units will be available to people who make no more than 60 percent of median family income.

Hacker began designing the housing development in February 2020.

“The project was more heavily geared towards roommates and small families,” Hacker design principal Chris Hodney said.

The units are designed to be flexible. There will be 15 three-bedroom units, 45 two-bedroom units, six one-bedroom units, and 18 studios.

“The building is an ‘F’ shape,” Hodney said. “It creates these two private courtyards.”

One courtyard will be an active play area for kids, with terraces connected by slides. A second courtyard will have multiple gathering spaces as well as outdoor seating adjacent to a communal room on the first floor.

The courtyards will be lined by some ground-floor apartments as well as amenities such as community rooms, management offices and support service spaces.

“Only a small portion of the building fronts Killingsworth just because of the way the site is shaped,” Hodney said.

That frontage is lined with commercial space, Hodney added. The Native American Youth and Family Center signed a long-term lease for space where its programs and services will be accessible by residents. The project design team will be available to help NAYA plan for offices, child care space, and possibly micro-retail spaces for clients such as startup businesses.

With a goal for Earth Advantage platinum certification, Hacker focused on cost-efficient design. Apartments will be only as big as they need to be, building plan dimensions (including floor-to-floor heights) will minimize wood-framing and gypsum-board waste, structural design will eliminate the need for a more expensive post-tensioned concrete slab, and thoughtful placement of exterior glazing will ensure the overall window-to-wall ratio is optimal.

“The building planning and the way we designed the apartment units was all about saving costs,” Hodney said.

O’Neill/Walsh Community Builders is expected to begin construction in June 2023 and finish in August 2024. The estimated total project cost is $24 million.

An expansion/remodel is in the works at Providence St. Vincent’s emergency department in Portland. The work, designed by JRJ Architects, is a multi-phased renovation of the existing emergency department, located on the existing lower level of the Phil and Penny Knight Pavilion.

Contractor Lease Crutcher Lewis will begin construction in January. Construction is estimated to be complete in January 2025.

The project owner is Providence Health Systems. Other consultants on the project include PAE, Catena Consulting Engineers and KPFF Consulting Engineers.

Sean-Scott Ingersoll, project manager at JRJ Architects, said his firm began working on schematic design in the summer of 2021 and developed the design this year. Providence St. Vincent had conducted studies on efficiencies and improvements in efficiencies for the hospital and JRJ Architects took those recommendations and put together a schematic design.

The scope of the work of the project includes remodeling and hardening the entry/security/arrival zones; new fast track and results pending spaces; new and updated nurse stations and employee work areas; increased exam room counts and treatment spaces for the current pods; and a new diagnostic imaging department with three general radiology machines, two CT scanners and an ultrasound room.

Currently, drop off patients enter and exit through the same entry.

“We’ve specifically taken the entry to this and separated it from the exit so there’s a more efficient through-put of patients coming into the space versus those after they have been checked out and been released come out through a separate set of doors,” Ingersoll said.

Patients will now enter through the southwest corner of the building and be met with the security space. The layout will allow staff to have complete visibility of the waiting area.

Many of the nurse stations were brought up to current code in regard to having separate medication dispensing areas. Those areas will be separate, more secure and efficient. Nurse stations will be scattered throughout the emergency department, with smaller decentralized stations rather than one centralized station.

There will be a new and expanded staff break room area. Currently, the staff break room is in the middle of the emergency department.

“We’re excited because we were able to place it on an exterior courtyard wall so that the break room will now be able to look into an interior courtyard, some green space, daylight, that kind of thing, so when providers are off stage they have a bit of a more peaceful, relaxing space to be,” Ingersoll said.

Also included in the project is a relocated secure behavioral health department and adjacent flex room spaces that allow for use as either medical or behavioral health rooms. Ingersoll is excited about the flex rooms, as they can adjust to whatever the need is.

There will also be new locker rooms and updates made to the pediatrics area. The footprint of the pediatrics area is essentially staying the same, with some improvements made to nurse stations, the rooms, as well as the flex spaces.

The project will include all related interior finish, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, low voltage, security and fire protection/fire alarm systems work as required and includes vital infrastructure improvements to support the department. The approximate square footage is 57,250 square feet.

The emergency department must continue to be operational and functional during the project. There are multiple phases and sub-phases required in order to maintain operations, as well as keeping the available exam room count to an acceptable minimum number during each phase of construction.

A new building to serve racial minorities is in the works in Northeast Portland. The Building United Futures Complex, designed by Mahlum Architects, is the vision of the Black United Fund of Oregon – an anchor for the Black community.

Mahlum began working with the Black United Fund of Oregon in 2019 as the organization started to look at possibilities for its existing land. It included a dilapidated warehouse and a 3,500-square-foot office building in the Alberta Arts District. The warehouse was demolished and the office building will be eventually. The new building will rise on the office building’s footprint.

“They were trying to figure out how they could use their land to provide additional support to the BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, people of color) community and find out how to bring some of that back into their neighborhood, which has been disenfranchised over time,” project manager Kim Olson said.

Mahlum and the Black United Fund of Oregon engaged in a series of visioning sessions. They sought to create a complex that would draw together organizations that serve underserved populations.

“We are in mid-design development right now,” Olson said. “We are looking to break ground in June of 2023.”

Adre, an equity-centered development company founded by Anyeley Hallova, is the project’s developer. Walsh Construction will be the contractor. The four-story building will have approximately 35,000 square feet.

“Right now, the way that the building is being designed is it’s got a lot of … spaces for potential tenants,” Olson said.

The building will have shared resources, such as a conference room, that smaller organizations may need – but not on a full-time basis, Olson added. A “resource alley” will hold shared tenant amenities, and an event space on an upper floor will be available to tenants and community members.

The architecture supports themes of celebration, welcoming and gathering. The building will have multiple canvases for artwork and murals that celebrate communities’ diversity. Textured materials will invite and guide visitors into shared community spaces and resources. Designated gathering spaces will have large windows that provide visual connections to the street.

“We’re looking at a mass-timber construction type assembly,” project designer Octavio Gutierrez said.

An effort to ramp up sustainability and level environmental justice has been part of this process, Gutierrez said. The motto of the Black United Fund of Oregon, “Our Presence Has Power,” is the driving force of this project. The organization has occupied the project site for 40-plus years, he added.

“One of the key features we’re (planning) to really drive that sense of welcoming and comfort is a really strong mural on the ground level that actually wraps its way up and makes its presence on the building on the south elevation as well,” he said. “That’s driving from a lot of the themes of the art we see on Alberta (Street).”

Construction is estimated to finish by the end of July 2024.
