The 11-acre (4.5-ha) Adidas Village, a redevelopment of the Bess Kaiser Hospital complex in North Portland, marks the consolidation of the global corporation’s dispersed, suburban offices into a central urban campus. Through a clever mix of adaptive use and new construction, the corporate village transcends a myriad of site constraints while transforming a formerly moribund project area into a community asset. The new headquarters for Adidas’s North American operations consists of 360,000 square feet (33,445 m²) of office and design space, a large fitness center, playing fields, a public park, a restaurant, and an 830-space underground parking garage.
