Portland Art Museum Masonic Temple Renovation

The Portland Art Museum is a world class institution and vital to bringing art and culture to the City of Portland. The 141,000 SF addition to the North Wing creates the largest gallery space for modern and contemporary art in the Pacific Northwest.

MMDC was brought in midway to complete this extremely complex redevelopment that included the demolition and reconstruction of entire floors—and the preservation of historical components of the former Masonic Temple. Through an aggressive project management plan, MMDC corrected several problem areas and guided the museum to an on-time opening.

Features and Benefits

28,000 SF were added to allow for the addition of an art reference library on the second floor.
Two of the historic ballrooms, catering kitchen and office space for the museum staff were also renovated.
Renovations also feature a glass four-story “pleat” on the south exterior to provide extensive natural light to a new four-story atrium carved out of the existing floors of the building.
A new tunnel constructed under the plaza provides access between the existing and the renovated wings.
