Summary: Towering 16-stories into the city skyline is Porltand State Unviersity’s (PSU’s) College Station, a 283-unit residential facility that is the brainchild of a partnership between American Campus Communities (ACC), a company that invested $90-million in development, and PSU which signed a 65-year lease.  By reserving a portion of the building for a fitness area and future first-floor retail space, PSU is fulfilling its vision of becoming an “internationally recognized urban university known for excellence in student housing.”

General contractor Walsh Construction is responsible for delivering the mixed-use development that will provide a lecture hall, classrooms and uniquely-designed social lounge areas, in addition to much-needed housing for nearly 1,000 students at urban campus.  “We are able to streamline installation through the extensive use of prefabrication of outlets, tel-data devices and overhead conduit rack systems located throughout the 375,000-sf facility,” noted Bergelectric’s Project Manager.
