Visitor spending of $6.8 million will add to PSU’s $1.44 billion in annual regional economic impact. The proj- ect will also create 396 construction jobs and support the equivalent of 24 permanent full-time jobs. The design of the new facility was created by Portland’s Woofter Architecture and Sink Combs Dethlefs Architects with Fortis Construction contracted to build it. The building is scheduled to open in March 2018. The renovation is funded through state bonds, private donors, OHSU, and student fees. Funding does not come from general operat- ing funds or tuition dollars.
