Portland, Oregon
This structure is at the main entry to the university and spans between two low hills. It was conceived as a portal to the campus, since vehicles would have had to pass under it in order to gain access to the grounds.
The ophthalmic research clinic on the lower floor accommodates the auditorium and library, and the laboratories and speaking rooms are on the floors above. A prominent features of the composition is a cylinder stacked with operating rooms that passes through the upper four floors of this six-story section, and which marks the vehicular entry to the campus.
The remainder of the complex is divided into a large, 320 car, multi-level parking structure set into a slope at the north and a central circulation core linked to the parking an all floors in the clinic. The building turns its back to the main approach, but a stepped, park promenade links the main pedestrian entry to the rest of the campus.
The bulk of the building is faced in metal panel, and the parking structure is covered on the side with a steel grid that screens the garage wall and the open escape stair running up slope of the hill.
建筑位于大学的主入口处，跨越两个小山丘。建筑外观采用金属板材覆盖，停车场则用钢网覆盖。建筑的主要功能是眼科研究，设有实验室、演讲室、图书馆和手术室。建筑的一大特色是一栋圆柱形的手术室，从建筑的第二层到第五层贯穿整个建筑，作为校园的车辆入口。
建筑的其余部分分为一个大型、320辆车的多层停车场和一个中央循环核心，连接着所有楼层的诊所。建筑背面朝向主要通道，但一个阶梯状的公园步道将主要步行入口与校园的其他部分连接起来。
