TOUR
Saturday afternoon Hoffman Construction will host our tour of a LEED Platinum building, the flagship project for OHSU at the River Campus at the Portland South Waterfront development. Architect GBD and Mechanical Engineer Interface have worked together to create a project that features both classic and unique elements for us to see.
- The Bio-Reactor treats garbage on site and is only the second such installation in the US.
- Photovoltaics installed on the sun shades generate electricity while controlling the natural light that pours into the building.
- A solar trombe wall works with the displaced air system with fin tubes to control the interior environment.
- The Salt Pure system keeps the pool clean with no chlorine.
- Garden terraces provide an outdoor respite for patients and their families.
- The atrium welcomes with 66 custom hand-blown globes with a fiber optics display.
