Government Services Agencies looking for new offices
The Edith Green Wendell Wyatt Federal Building is slated to begin massive renovations at the end of this year or early 2010. The $133 million project will cover seismic upgrades, new windows, HVAC and security system overhauls among other things. This project was first considered back in 2007, but was shelved until adequate funding could be found. Enter The American Reinvestment and Recovery Act, which is footing the bill on this one.
The 34-year-old, 500,000 square foot building is going to pursue a LEED Gold certification as part of the renovation work and is considering adding vegetation and energy saving glass structures to help achieve this goal. The project is expected to last between 30 and 40 months and displaces approximately 250,000 SF of governmental agencies. These agencies are in the market now, looking for temporary, and in some cases permanent new homes. First and Main, the newest office highrise in downtown Portland is one location several of these agencies will no doubt consider given its proximity to the Green Wyatt building.
The architects awarded the project our Portland’s SERA Architects and Bainbridge, WA based Cutler Anderson.
