The Oregon Legislature has approved funding for a new center to house the Portland State University School of Art + Design, a modern facility that will bring together all the Art and Design programs under one roof, creating a central hub for the school.
In the final days of the 2021 legislative session, lawmakers approved funding of $68 million through state bonds. The university will raise an additional $5 million through philanthropy to complete the $73 million project, which is expected to be finished in 2024.
