DJC Oregon Top Project: 2025
Project Details
The renovation of the outdated Science Building One, built in 1967, creates an undergraduate science hub on campus. The six-story, 89,500-sf building was transformed to represent and celebrate all students’ needs, experiences and cultural traditions. Carefully curated spaces such as a community gathering room, a decolonized library, and a food/plant teaching kitchen push beyond typical Westernized lab offerings to allow Indigenous communities to gather and explore science in ways more meaningful and familiar to them.
