Description
Experience Center One welcomes global visitors to the Pacific Northwest with confident elegance. Designed by WRNS Studio, the building weaves the surrounding forest into every aspect of the experience — from a terraced forest arrival engaging all the senses, to a suspended garden visible from every floor. A stone base, mass timber structure, and cantilevered glass volume rise from the forest floor to create a nature-connected building that leaves a lasting impression. LEED Platinum certified.
