Portland State University

Peter Stott Center Renovation + Viking Pavilion Located on Portland State University’s campus at the south end of the historic South Park Blocks, this project involved the revitalization and expansion of PSU’s Peter W. Stott Center. The project, designed in collaboration with Sports Architect Sink Combs Dethlefs, completely transformed the existing outdated, inward-focused building, originally constructed in 1966, into a vibrant and welcoming facility that supports a wide range of functions including academics, athletics, and general student use. The centerpiece of the project is the Viking Pavilion, a multi-use arena that will host events ranging from competitions to concerts to commencements. The project encompassed areas of renovation and new construction, with the majority of new construction on the eastern, Park-facing half, including the new arena and a new exterior. This served to shift the center of the building’s use and activity to directly engage the Park and the heart of campus. The design creates a truly multi-use facility, with public lobbies, concourses, and lounges configured to be used daily by students and the entire campus community while also accommodating athletic competitions, symposia, and graduations. Unlike typical venues that sit dark between events, this facility is envisioned as both a campus and civic amenity that is always active with use.

Oregon State University

Gilbert Hall Classroom and Lab Renovations This project centered on the renovation and renewal of two large tiered general-use classrooms and one teaching laboratory within Oregon State University’s historic Gilbert Hall and later addition. Recently completed, the scope encompassed approximately 10,000 sf of improvements. These included upgrading the outdated lab and teaching spaces to support multiple teaching pedagogies, improve safety, incorporate current technology and significantly expand accessibility.

Portland State University Office of Academic Innovation

Centrally located on PSU’s campus within the Smith Memorial Student Union, this project renovated and recreated the University’s Office of Academic Innovation (OAI). Working closely with University faculty and staff, Woofter Architecture was engaged to refine the program and implement a conceptual design created for OAI by Whelton Architecture. Working within a modest project budget, w+a strategically introduced affordable and innovative design elements and materials to stay on budget while maintaining the initial design intentions and achieving OAI’s functional and programmatic needs. The project’s 8,500 sf of improvements provided an array of flexible group spaces that greatly enhanced the effectiveness of this important University resource. The design included creating a welcoming new reception area with a support desk visually linked to the “Collaborative Studio”, a large and flexible teaching and meeting space. Large pivoting walls between the meeting and reception areas provide multiple scales flexible gathering areas: from one large connected space to two separate spaces to multiple smaller group collaboration areas between the walls when rotated 90 degrees. Resources serving the entire University community, including a reference library and three media booths, are centrally located in the new space. In these areas, faculty can record lectures, receive assistance with technology and review reference material related to teaching and new educational delivery methods. Additionally, the design included new enclosed offices and a variety of flexible meeting spaces distributed throughout the open office areas.

Oregon State University Gymnastics Practice Facility

This renovation of a multi-tenant industrial building at the edge of the Oregon State University campus creates a spacious and dynamic new practice facility for the OSU Women’s Gymnastics team. OSU’s storied program consistently ranks among the best in the country and has attracted top talent, including 2020 Olympic Gold Medalist Jade Carey. The project, which followed a successful Programming and Feasibility Study, triples the team’s practice studio and significantly improves student-athlete training opportunities and safety. The new 20,600 sf facility also includes therapy, cardio, meeting, and locker areas that support student-athlete health, well-being and team success.

woofter architecture Steering Committee Meeting – June 05, 2020

University of Portland Career Center

Woofter Bolch Architecture and Nossa Norman Design Studio closely collaborated on this new Career Education Center for the University of Portland. Relocated from the existing Student Health Center to be closer to the heart of campus, the new space is much more accessible and visible. Primary program goals included creating a comfortable and welcoming environment that provides a variety of group and individual meeting spaces. A range of shared spaces as well as intimate private offices are designed for the wide array of student support services provided by the Center. Visible and flexible group meeting spaces located toward the perimeter are intended to draw students in while smaller private and one-on-one meeting rooms are carefully located on interior walls for privacy. Glazed walls and sliding doors along office circulation provide borrowed natural light and create comfortable one-on-one meeting rooms that are intimate and private but not enclosed or isolated.

Portland State University Student Recreation Center Fourth Floor Expansion

Following a collaboration with Portland State University on a Space Planning + Feasibility Study for their Academic & Student Recreation Center, Woofter Architecture was retained to implement the vision for areas within the control of Campus Recreation. This included adding 3,400 square feet of floor area within the volume of the existing two-story weight room, which was originally designed to accommodate future expansion. The design maintains the visual connection between the third and fourth floors and creates a new direct link by incorporating a new open stair linking the third level strength and conditioning areas with fourth level cardiovascular training areas. Additional interior improvements on the third and fourth floors impacted approximately 12,000 square feet and included the reconfiguration of multi-purpose exercise studios to add more open areas for exercise equipment with a better connection to daylight and views as well as the creation of new office areas for recreation center staff.

Oregon State University

Dixon Rec Center Raquetball Court Conversions Located at the heart of the Dixon Recreation Center, this project completely transformed three underutilized racquetball courts into open and active fitness spaces. Two of the former courts were connected with a tall new opening, directly linking a new functional fitness training studio with an Olympic lifting and combative fitness studio. The third court was remade into a cycling studio with updated lighting and sound systems to create unique group cycling experiences. OSU priorities included maximizing direct student impact and creating spaces that provide a welcoming, inclusive, and safe environment for all.

The cycling studio includes state-of-the-art lighting and sound systems, enabling instructors to create varied and dynamic workout environments.

Florence Center Improvements

Currently under construction, this project centers on addressing the seismic and major maintenance deficiencies of the LCC’s Florence Center. These include critical safety, accessibility and building systems upgrades, both interior and exterior, to extend the life and improve the functionality of the facility. The scope also includes improvements to interior spaces and technology systems in support of class offerings and student learning opportunities. Originally constructed in 1974, the 17,426-square-foot facility is an essential educational resource for the entire western Lane County region, providing a wide variety of academic and community support offerings.

constructed at Sylvania, PCC’s original campus. Completed in 1966, it is a two-story concrete structure at the south end of the campus. Characterized by exposed structure and broad roof overhangs, the facility was built as part of a linked group of buildings including the adjacent Heating Plant (HP), Science & Technology (ST), and Social Science (SS) Buildings. Designed to accommodate the Automotive Program on the second floor and Machining and other shop-based programs on the first floor, the AM Building also originally included the President’s office. The facility is currently used primarily by three program groups: Automotive Service Technology, Engineering (Civil and Mechanical), and Machining. Additionally, the MakerLab, a resource for the entire campus, is located on the first floor, which also contains three general purpose classrooms and two computer rooms slated for shared use by Engineering and the campus.

2.0 Existing Conditions

This Programming & Validation effort focused on documenting 55,600 gsf total existing building conditions and program requirements as well

as future need to improve the AM Building. Project goals include addressing immediate, short-term needs such as HVAC and roof repair and determining the long-term, highest and best use of the facility. Additional explorations are intended to ensure proposed short-term improvements consider and support the future vision and that the near-term investment is maximized for the longer term.

This Program Validation phase, conducted between March and August 2020, included visiting the facility to verify existing conditions and meeting with PCC to gather information, identify needs, and explore opportunities to improve the AM Building. It was seen as a process of investigation, discovery, and documentation. The study encompassed evaluating academic program opportunities and need, potential expansion options for the site, developing conceptual building ideas and establishing probable construction cost. This study information, combined with further analysis, can be used for project prioritization and the funding allocation process. STUDY PROCESS

This study was completed during the COVID-19 pandemic with PCC facilities closed, access to the campus and building faculty and staff was limited. Team meetings and stakeholder engagement sessions were conducted virtually online. PROGRAM VALIDATION Automotive Service Technology (AM) Program Automotive service technicians play an essential role in American society, which depends on the freedom and mobility provided by automobiles. Automotive service technicians not only apply their expertise to solving electrical and mechanical problems in vehicles; technicians assure that vehicles run safely and at optimal performance for everyone on the roads. PCC offers the opportunity for individuals to become a skilled automotive service technician, providing the fundamental skills necessary to succeed in an everchanging and challenging industry. The program offers dedicated classrooms, shop space, tools, equipment, and training aides focused on the 8 Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) subject areas. Consisting of 8 ASE 17-day instructional modules, the program offers a certificate or a degree option, with 3 modules per term. The modules are lecture/laboratory format and emphasize the fast-paced nature of the industry and require dedication in the classroom but also to independent study. Programming input from Automotive Services Technology staff and faculty focused on the following: • Building systems (Roof, HVAC, Exhaust, Electrical, Floor) all are at end of life and need to be replaced to provide a safe, healthy, and effective teaching and learning environment • Their primary need is for more space to accommodate their program with additional shop space being most important • Improving site lighting and circulation through program parking and vehicle area to address pedestrian safety for students, staff and faculty is a primary concern

Portland State University

Academic & Student Recreation Center1 When Portland State University’s 208,000 sf LEED Gold Academic & Student Recreation Center (ASRC) opened in 2010, it was the result of more than a decade of careful planning by PSU and a close collaboration between the University and the Design-Build team. In leadership roles with YGH Architecture at that time, Miles Woofter and Jonathan Bolch worked extensively on the original building design, from the initial Design-Build competition proposal in 2006 through all phases of design and construction to the project’s completion. Both were deeply involved in the conceptualization and implementation of all aspects of the facility, including interior and exterior, creative and technical. Designed to connect to and integrate with the adjacent public plaza and university buildings, the ASRC contains a complex mix of programs including recreation, retail, education, and office. Located at an important nexus of pedestrian and mass transit circulation, the six-story building optimizes the area of its downtown site with an efficient floor plate and an effective distribution of use. The building’s extensive north-facing glazing maximizes the visual connection between the dynamic array of activities housed within the facility and the adjacent Urban Plaza. Through a partnership between PSU, the City, and the State, the ASRC also houses the PSU School of Social Work and the City of Portland Archives and Records. 1
