For more in fo rmation on the plan, see the September 1999 issue of The Construction Specifier. In developing the plan, the Strategic Planning Task Team first generated 10-year assumptions that identify key internal and external trends, challenges, and issues that will impact CSI and the construction industry. From these ENVIRONMENTAL NEWS assumptions, the task team developed a 10- to 30-year Smart Solar Energy System Headed for the strategic direction, consisting of the Institute's core ideol Public ogy and envisioned future. The core ideology created by the task team consists of A novel system that uses solar power to directly heat water CSI's core purpose, which is to improve the process of is about to become commercially available after years of creating and sustaining the built environment, and its core development and testing at the National Institute of Stan values, such as to strive for cooperative solutions, promote dards and Technology (NIST).

Renovations began in the summer of I 997. Immediately lots of decayed wood and soft brick mortar were found. The pe rimeter bay was shored up. $3 million was spent to make the building ready for new construction. Some of the materials removed from the building have been reused such as the wood for the plank seats in the atrium. The exterior stucco applied 50 years ago will be retained, repaired by the firm that originally applied it. The building now includes an architectural concrete core, alu minum windows by Efco, Versite custom wood exterior win dows installed by Perrott Company, entrances by Hope Win dows, extensive use of 54 inch deep glulams. This wood frame "high rise" building is fully sprinklered, with complex fire and life safety systems (there will be no fire separations re quired in the building, except for stair shafts). It was interesting to see the blend of the existing building with new work, especially the creation of an atrium in the middle of the building. This atrium will be used as a place for office presentations, and the Portland Institute for Contem porary Art will use it for performances to get art into the com munity. The 400-500 seat atrium will receive daylight from skylights four floors above. When they remove the tempo rary flooring to see the skylights it will be quite a wonderful space. Allied Works Architecture used open space and modem con struction technology to convert this relic into a modem Class "A" office building in the heart of the Pearl District.
