Ecotrust’s building
• built in 1895 of the brick and timber, served as a warehouse• in 1998 purchased by the Ecotrust – a non-profit organization working to create a sustinable „conservation economy” on the Pacific Northwest• the renovation has respected original structure but also incorporates environmentaly innovative materials and techniques (98 percent of waste was recycled, it features „ecoroof” – that together with street lawn absorbs rainwater and filter it, so it flows clean to the Willamette River).
„A place where the city’s vitality and environmental
sensibilities meet” Jean Vollum – patron of the organization
