Center for Hope & Safety — HOPE Plaza

Exterior systems on a four-story building: window flashings, wall panels, brick flashings, parapet cap metal, fascia, and expansion joints. The expansion joints were converted to seismic joints during the project. Interior finish work got added to the scope mid-build. Custom trim components were fabricated and installed to handle it.

Four stories means everything goes up on scaffolding. Winter weather in the Willamette Valley meant tenting for weather protection on top of that. Materials had to be staged and moved vertically, coordinated floor by floor.

Sequencing with the roofing contractor was tight. Exterior work had to land in the right order to keep the envelope moving. When the spec changed from standard expansion joints to seismic joints, the crew adapted without losing time. Same with the interior extras. None of it was in the original scope, but it got handled through field adaptation and custom fabrication.

HOPE Plaza provides housing for survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, and human trafficking. Twenty apartments with on-site support. The building matters. The work had to be right.
