PSU Academic & Student Recreation Center
While with YGH Architecture, Miles Woofter was Project Architect and Jonathan Bolch was Assistant Project Designer for this 208,000 sf “fusion” facility in the heart of PSU’s campus.
Designed to connect to and integrate with the adjacent public plaza and university buildings, the ASRC contains a complex mix of programs including recreation, retail, education, and office.
Located at an important nexus of pedestrian and mass transit circulation, the six-story building optimizes the area of its downtown site with an efficient floor plate and an effective distribution of use. The building’s extensive north-facing glazing maximizes the visual connection between the dynamic array of activities housed within the facility and the adjacent Urban Plaza.
Through a partnership between PSU, the City, and the State, the ASRC also houses the PSU School of Social Work and the City of Portland Archives and Records.
