Portland, OR: The Globe Hotel or the “Import Plaza” is going to be remodeled completely bringing the building up to a LEED Gold standard certification. The Globe Hotel will become home to the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine after its reopening for the fall 2010 school year. This renovation will further the city’s goal to revitalize the Chinatown neighborhood including other projects like the Mercy Corps world headquarters just a block away. The historic original sign that rotates above the building currently will be kept, but it will be updated to say “OCOM” along with a general repainting makeover. The building will be receiving a seismic upgrade as well for earthquake safety along with some eco features like stormwater management, low flow water fixtures, and a high efficiency HVAC system.
