Portland City Hall Renovation
Portland, Oregon
The Portland City Hall Renovation brings the 82,000 SF, 100+ year old building up to current seismic and fire codes. The renovation of Portland's City Hall was guided by three goals:
- upgrade the building to current seismic standards
- restore the building's historic features
- create a modern, functional office environment.
Unique features:
- Today, the exterior looks just as it did in the late 1800s, but the interior received a complete functional makeover — light courts were restored, council chambers now feature a balcony, office workspaces sport modern accouterments, and the structure rests on a seismically stable structural core.
