University of Portland Fields and Schoenfeldt Hall

Abstract

At a campus shaped by nearly a century of development, the landscape provides a consistent ground between old and new. At Schoenfeldt Hall, four stone-paved seating areas extend the building’s geometry into the entry plaza, with planting creating separation and privacy for students. Native planting builds on the established campus palette, while a green roof and graywater irrigation bring environmental performance into its formal character.

“The plaza follows the formal geometry of the campus, while plantings soften the edges of smaller spaces created for students to gather and linger. ”
