Bringing an icon of postmodern architecture into the 21st century is no easy feat, but that’s just what our team did at The Portland Building, the administration offices for the City of Portland. First opened in 1982, the building faced structural, exterior and operational system challenges that repairs alone could not address. To protect and restore this major public investment, the City turned to Balfour Beatty and our valued progressive design-build partners DLR Group to upgrade the space. The design-build team delivered this 400,000-square-foot, 15-story building with new exterior cladding, seismic upgrades, complete MEP systems replacement and new interior construction throughout, all while maintaining the building’s historic characteristics. The renovation accommodates inter-agency collaboration, improves the employee and customer experience and allows for future flexibility as the City’s needs evolve. #HowardSWright #DesignBuild #MunicipalConstruction #BuildtoLast
