The Portland Innovation District is a collaborative planning and design project with the Oregon Leadership in Sustainability (OLIS), Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI), Gdansk University of Technology (GUT), University of Oregon “SketchUp” course, environmental design professionals, and City of Portland officials. The Oregon Leadership in Sustainability (OLIS) graduate certificate program trains students in the concepts and skills of organizational leadership and sustainable development. It is designed for students from diverse backgrounds who want to prepare for emerging sustainability careers in the public, private and nonprofit sector.
The Portland Innovation District site is bounded by the SE Clay Street on the north, SE Caruthers Street on the south, railroad on the east, and Willamette River on the west. The site encompasses approximately 18 hectares [46 acres] within the Central Eastside Industrial District “Hosford Abernethy Neighborhood.” The Central Eastside Industrial District (CEID) is part of the “Portland Innovation Quadrant” which includes the University District, Marquam Hill, and South Waterfront.
This project will include the following research and design components:
- Site Analysis & Modelling
