Sustainable Building Week (SBW) will take place from October 7—11, 2024, in Portland, Oregon. This event brings together professionals from architecture, engineering, and related fields to explore and promote sustainable building practices through various in-person, virtual, and hybrid events. SBW focuses on enhancing collaboration and innovation in sustainable design.

As part of SBW, AIA Oregon will host the COTE Digital Design Series — Adidas North American Headquarters on Wednesday, October 9, 2024, at LEVER's office located 4713 North Albina Avenue in Portland. The event will feature an in-person happy hour from 4—5 pm, followed by a presentation from 5—6 pm. The presentation will focus on the 2023 AIA Oregon 2030 Merit Award and Honor Award-winning project, Adidas North American Headquarters, designed by LEVER.

Following a national design competition, Adidas selected the team of LEVER, O+A, and GGN to realize a major expansion of their North American Headquarters, including two new signature CLT mass timber buildings. The placement of the two LEED GOLD buildings around a new central sports plaza creates a more cohesive campus landscape, strengthens internal connectivity between the existing buildings, and alters the landscape connections to the adjoining residential neighborhood.

Space for in-person attendance is limited to 24 people, with additional virtual participation available. For more information about the presentation or to register, please visit AIA Oregon.
