Project Details

The new Portland Workforce Training Center (Metro Center) for Portland Community College will be an anchor for the community in Northeast Portland’s racially diverse Cully neighborhood. Replacing PCC’s existing facility, the expanded Center will create opportunities for low-income families and residents, transforming lives through education and connections to family-wage jobs. Guided by trauma-informed design and Design Justice principles, Bora’s design seeks to cultivate a culture of collective care by creating restorative and humanizing spaces that connect to nature and celebrate cultural diversity. The College’s first project to pioneer a mass timber structure, the Center will feature classrooms, a career center, gathering space, and surrounding greenspace.
