Outdoor Spaces

The wide range in residential unit sizes promotes home-owner demographic diversity. Through the use of various forms of space maximization such as innovative kitchen and storage casework, these units are incredibly efficient and livable.

Restaurants encourage an active street-scape along SW Gibbs St. These restaurants support the use of the recreational park area just North of the thoroughfare.

Amenities such as a gym, childcare, community meeting rooms, and storage for recreational activities help make the South Waterfront a more livable neighborhood. The on-site exersive facilities of the gym supports the healthy living of residents, while the recreational storage areas promote the use of the river. This not only helps to create a more developed workout routine but also strengthens the connection to the River for residents. Meeting rooms open for public use also encourage strong community awareness and identity in the neighborhood.

Outdoor spaces focus on encouraging livability, sustainability, and education in the neighborhood. Items such as a playgrounds and a public plaza support the activation of a recreational node along Northeast edge of the site, working off the Portland Parks & Recreation’s plan for a powerfully exciting South Waterfront neighborhood. The urban agriculture on the site educates residents and visitors about sustainable practices.

Educational Areas

The Community Eco Education Center teaches visitors about the river’s ecosystem and the importance of sustainable practices. An iconic pier pulls visitors out onto the water and allows them to have a hands-on connection and educational experience with the river. The pier, which can be accessed throughout the day, houses various user-friendly educational activities that excite the senses of all ages. The pier acts as a symbol of the South Waterfront’s dedication to sustainable living.

On the shore the pier is connected to the rest of the education center, which acts a school for children. Classrooms, research labs, and display areas are heightened places of energy and excitement where children can expand their understanding of the ecosystem.

Support Facilities

Support facilities insure that the Community Eco Education Center’s operations run smoothly and successfully. Staff and service areas provide places of refuge for workers.
