Portland YouthBuilders
In Portland's Lents neighborhood since 2001, PYB sought to expand their facility and programs in order to continue to serve low-income and out-of-school youth.
Details
PYB and S|EA worked together on a design that accommodated the school’s needs, and recognized the reality of the program’s future growth. The project incorporates materials unique to the Pacific Northwest, creating an aesthetic to compliment the feel of the surrounding area. Amenities include, open office space, technology classroom, break and conference rooms, work spaces, and garden. Above all, the project goal was to continue PYB’s mission, helping young people in becoming self-sufficient, contributing members of the workforce and their community.
