BOORA Architects www.boora.com
Since its founding in Portland, Oregon in 1958, BOORA has grown to provide architectural, planning and interior design services to clients throughout the United States and abroad. BOORA's focus on innovative and appropriate design solutions has resulted in national design recognition. The firm's work has received more than 80 American Institute of Architects design awards and has been selected for important national commissions including the Regional Performing Arts Center for Virginia Tech. They have been recognized and featured in publications ranging from Time to American School & University. Clients often praise their responsiveness, creativity, management abilities and team approach.

"Our clients want to be involved, they want the process to be great, but they also want their buildings to be art that enriches and improves the daily lives of people. And maybe that's not a bad definition of architecture… Since it will be judged by our grandchildren as either fit for the job or not, the building we make together needs to function as a timeless work of art."

While BOORA's practice is varied, a major focus of their work is in education, as evidenced by over 139 master plans and 43 facilities for college and university campuses, including 20 projects for the University of California system. Their higher education portfolio includes: George Fox University, Linfield College, Oregon State University, Pomona College, Scripps College and Seattle University.

Ground, NIKEgoddess, NikeTown Miami, NikeTown New York, One Waterfront Place, and Overton Park.

No cookie-cutter solutions
"[T]here is no signature BOORA style. Many clients see this as one of our strengths. …And we're comfortable not having a predictable outcome."
