This recently revitalized space is on track to be one of the few Platinum LEED-certified buildings in Oregon. The 1,200-square-foot Center accommodates groups of 10 to 100 people. Lofty ceilings, an open floor plan, exposed wooden beams, abundant natural light and modern amenities make the Center for Architecture the ideal venue for your next event. The Center for Architecture is located five blocks from the Natural Capital Center at 403 NW 11th Avenue, Portland Oregon 97209.
Once a horse stable, this 1880s building has also housed an acclaimed photography gallery and is now the new home for the Portland Chapter of the American Institute for Architects (AIA). The Center for Architecture is a shining example of how beautiful environmental design and energy-efficient building methods can be. In addition to public events, the Center showcases art and design exhibits and hosts lectures and AIA member events.
