Project Overview:
Edward J. Ray Hall at Oregon State University-Cascades sets a new benchmark for sustainable, contemporary campus architecture. This Net Zero Energy, mass timber building exemplifies low-carbon innovation, featuring locally sourced timber from restoration and tribal-managed forests. Positioned on a reclaimed 46-acre pumice mine, soon to become the university's west campus, it transforms an industrial scar into a vibrant ecological and academic hub. Designed as a flexible prototype for future campus buildings, it features adaptable, collaboration-focused spaces that foster STEAM learning while celebrating the region’s heritage and identity.
