Last chance to register for CREW Portland's tour of the new Schnitzer School of Art + Art History + Design at Portland State University! Open to nonmembers and members.

The four-story, 100,000-square-foot building houses classrooms, studios, galleries, faculty offices, labs, and student spaces. Its exposed Douglas fir timber structure uses 40-foot beams to maximize CLT spans, while a rhythmic colonnade of timber posts creates student-curated pocket galleries. The building opens for classes in September 2026, but this is your chance for a sneak peek!

Join us for appetizers, beverages, and networking following the tour!
