Now's your chance to get involved in an AWB-Oregon project based here in Portland! Join us for a kickoff meeting where Anita Moran, FAIA will be assembling a team to provide conceptual design solutions for the historic Sellwood Community House,

Operated as a nonprofit, SCH provides community programs including preschool, afterschool care, teen programming, parent education, exercise, and art classes, along with space for events and clubs. However, the current occupancy classification for this 1910 building prevents SCH from offering full-day childcare and from qualifying for funding through Multnomah County's Preschool for All program. Renovation will open the door to much-needed public funding as well as increase accessibility for seniors and others.

Architects, engineers, and students—including those interested in renovation, early childhood education, or historic buildings—are welcome to attend. Involvement in the long-term effort is not required for participation in the kickoff meeting.
