Skanska/Trammel Crow

Douglas High School Completed in Time For Classes

Beaverton, Ore. – Skanska USA Building Inc. will be completing the last stages of construction for a new $6.1 million facility and six state-of-the-art tennis courts at David Douglas High School in Portland, Ore., just in time for the new school year.  Construction of the project began in August of 2006 and was funded out of the district’s emergency fund due to the tremendous growth within the school district.

The 30,000-sq-ft building will house 18 classrooms, one computer lab and one faculty work room.  Each classroom will be able to accommodate 30 students giving the building a total capacity of roughly 540 students.  Each classroom will receive InFocus screen projectors, pull-down screens and computer networking connections.

Trammel Crow Starts Warehouse in Rivergate

Portland - Soon after the ink dried on the contracts that closed the deal on a lease for the last large parcel of land in the Rivergate Industrial District, Trammel Crow began construction on the first phase of what will eventually be 2.5 million sq ft of warehouse and distribution center. Major construction will continue through February 2008, with additional work expected after tenants identify specific needs. During construction, Trammel Crow estimates that contractors will pour 18,500 cubic yards of concrete into the project that’s enough to build a five-foot wide sidewalk from the site all the way to the Oregon State Capitol. The building footprint will be roughly equivalent to 10 football fields.
