For our October 1, 2024 Portland BEC meeting, we have arranged for a unique opportunity to tour the ongoing construction of the OHSU Hospital Expansion Project (OHEP). This 14-story, $540M immediate care facility features approximately 500,000 sf of programmed space and parking, planned accommodations for up to 192 beds, 250,000 sf of unitized curtain wall, 10,000 sf of vegetated roof, and three (3) bridge connections to adjacent campus buildings. The exterior enclosure that will be visible and discussed during the tour is composed of aluminum and glass unitized curtain wall, panelized framed walls with exterior metal panel, hot-rubberized asphalt vegetated roofing, and single-ply roofing.
Since this is an active construction site, our tour will need to start at 3:30pm after most trades have left the site. The tour will be approximately 1-hour long starting with a brief intro to the project, then breaking into three groups each visiting three stations in various locations throughout the building to view/discuss the variety of enclosure systems and detailing. With any luck, folks will be able to observe unitized curtain wall being actively installed! At each station, a representative from NBBJ (Project Architect), Morisson Hershfield (Enclosure Consultant) or RWDI (Enclosure Commissioning Provider) will lead a discussion and brief Q&A on the systems being installed at those stations.
Personal protective equipment (PPE) will be required to be worn during the tour. Additionally, transportation up to the site will be provided by shuttle bus from/to the South Waterfront trade parking lot as parking at the site is a challenge. More information regarding PPE requirements and parking will be distributed in the days before the tour.
Due to space and safety constraints, this tour is limited to 35 attendees. Please follow the link below to register for the event.
