The Oregon Sustainability Center is a collaboratively-designed high-rise project in downtown Portland, Oregon working towards a Living Building. Envisioned as the gateway to the region’s sustainability community, the Center integrates under one roof sustainability-driven businesses and non-profits, university-level education and research, energy policy and planning, workforce development, and public agencies.
Utilizing the Living Building Challenge as a framework, the team is being lead by partner architects SERA Architects and GBD Architects, in association with Gerding Edlen Development, Interface Engineering, Hoffman Construction, and a local team of additional expert consultants.
The Living Building Challenge, developed by the Cascadia Green Building Council in 2006, sets goals of achieving net-zero energy use, net-zero water use, and all wastewater managed on-site. The Center is currently the only high-rise and one of the largest projects to attempt the Living Building Challenge. |
