AT WASHINGTON HIGH SCHOOL ADX at Washington High School is a live/work adaptive reuse of one of Portland’s historic landmarks. The project combines an existing collaborative working community (ADX) with retail shops, office space, and housing. Founded on a collaborative community concept, the project will be welcomed in the transitioning Buckman Neighborhood as a community-building asset. The new program lends well to the existing structure, reviving the old while retaining the historical importance of Washington High School.
