Oregon State Office Building
Portland, Oregon
This classic building located in Portland’s Lloyd District houses the State of Oregon’s government operations in metropolitan Portland and provides immediate access to light rail transit and sweeping views of downtown Portland and the Cascade Range. This twelve-floor 377,600-square-foot office tower was completed on schedule and on budget in 1992. It also houses 160 structured parking spaces on three levels. Schlesinger Companies’ project team included Pacific Development, GBD Architects, and Hoffman Construction. In a successful public-private partnership, Schlesinger Companies worked closely with State agencies to develop layouts and amenities. Core placement and column free floor plates created efficient, open office areas and systems. It was the first major building in Portland to meet State Seismic Zone III code requirements.
