The School of Architecture and Allied Arts connects in multiple ways with the city of Portland and the metropolitan area through teaching, research, and service activities. Portland is one of the nation’s most highly regarded livable cities. It is an excellent urban laboratory and a vital cultural setting for the University of Oregon and the school’s engaged and active students and faculty members.

With the opening of expanded facilities in Portland, slated for March 2008, the school anticipates more integration between Eugene-based and Portland-based teaching and research activities. The new location in Portland helps the school sustain more contact with professionals in the design and creative industries. Renovations are under way to convert three structures into the White Stag Block at 70 N.E. Couch Street that will house the UO Portland programs in a single landmark structure.

Currently, the Department of Architecture’s Portland Program and the Energy Studies in Buildings Lab programs are offered at the UO Portland Center located at 722 S.W. Second Avenue in downtown Portland.

Coming in fall term 2008, the school will offer new advanced study programs earning the B.F.A. in Digital Arts or the B.F.A. in Product Design at the new UO Portland facilities. Architecture and the Energy Studies in Buildings Lab will relocate to the White Stag Block bringing all programs of the School of Architecture and Allied Arts together.
