Grant High School is a historically significant resource, and a neighborhood landmark that contributes to the greater community it serves. As part of Portland Public Schools Long Range Facilities Plan, Grant High School received a modernization and historic rehabilitation led by a multidisciplinary design team. The design team thoughtfully updated the high school campus, with an emphasis on sustainable and cost effective solutions, while celebrating the historic integrity of this neighborhood landmark.

Our office was the historic architect responsible for a building envelope condition assessment and masonry analysis, coordination between the design team project managers and the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) regarding impacts to the historic fabric of the campus, including major door and window improvements, restoration of terracotta, brick, and mortar replacement, and interior architectural significant elements. All work was completed in accordance with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties.
