Fall 2011 Lecture Series: SERA Existing Building Casestudies
| Title: | SERA Existing Building Casestudies |
| Speaker: | Lisa Peterson, AIA, SERA Architects |
| Date: | Tuesday, November 1st, 2011 |
| Description: | Lisa Peterson, AIA, Project architect at SERA will present case studies on three projects. According to Architecture 2030, renovation will account for almost three-quarters of all the building square footage architects will touch between now and 2030. How these renovations address energy efficiency goals, such as those articulated by the Architecture 2030, represents a huge opportunity to “make a difference” in the energy consumption of the United States. This presentation will focus on three deep renovations of existing buildings SERA Architects has completed or is in the process of completing; Edith Green Wendell Wyatt Federal Building is an 18-story, 420,000 sf office tower located in downtown Portland; The transformation of the upper floors of the Meier & Frank department store into the Nines hotel; After being vacant for 17 years, the Toronto National Building has been transformed into a vibrant contributor to Portland’s urban streetscape as a 256 Courtyard by Marriott. |
