LEVER is excited to announce the opening of a new footwear innovation hub for a major athletic apparel brand. The 70,000 sf project encompasses the renovation and conversion of a former YMCA facility adjacent to Duniway Park in Portland.

The building’s iconic athletic character was restored to complement the center’s new functions including workspace for 100 staff, innovation labs, and athlete testing facilities. LEVER designed the project’s interior architecture with exterior upgrades completed by Bora.
