We are honored that the Oregon Conservation Center has been recognized with a Citation Award from AIA Northwest and Pacific Region! The building is a transformation of a dated office building into a collaborative hub that reflects the Nature Conservancy's mission. The design integrates materials and plantings specific to their priority projects around the state, and new landscaping evokes three of the organization’s protected habitats. The building exterior is completely reimagined with steel cladding that weathers over time, as well as Juniper siding and Cedar decking which were both sustainably harvested from The Nature Conservancy’s conservation sites.
