SERA created the Red Soils Master Plan to consolidate all of Clackamas County's governmental functions on a single 62-acre pedestrian-oriented campus.
In creating this plan, over 50 of the county’s buildings were analyzed and individual staff members were interviewed to determine projected growth, workflow, and configuration. A projected total building area of 700,000 square feet will include office space for all administrative functions, social services, planning and development departments, the county courthouse, and offices for the district attorney, community corrections, and county justice needs. The public library and private office, retail, and residential buildings make the master plan a truly mixed use project.
The major public buildings, sited for maximum solar gain, are located along a meandering landscaped spine that affords pleasant pedestrian movement between buildings. Native vegetation and sculpted bioswales are major design elements that evoke the natural landscapes of Clackamas County while providing stormwater retention and filtration. A large centrally located oval plaza provides a visual connection between the courthouse entrance and Mount Hood, the region’s icon to the east. |
