"A 75 foot terrain drop from north to south across the site allowed the concealment of a 450-car parking garage into the hill, below a reconstructed street. South (city) elevations introduce natural daylight and provide dramatic views of Mt. Hood through a floor-to-ceiling curtain wall; north walls facing into the historic heart of the campus are articulated with punched windows in campus brick and stone. Cascading landscaped roof decks provide both intimate healing gardens and public view terraces open to the views. The Pavilion integrates a 9th floor campus-wide “pedestrian superhighway” throughout, linking campus patient care and research zones, and harbors a new aerial tram terminus...connecting the campus to waterfront parking and campus buildings below." — AIA
