Our work in the education sector reflects our commitment to building resilient and inspiring spaces for learning. The Albina Head Start Owen Blank Center is back to serving families after a transformative renovation by the COLAS Team! This project, a 13,000 SF, one-story facility originally built in 1961, included a seismic retrofit and a new roof beneath solar panels that provide over 70% of the building's annual energy. We made significant improvements to with a new deck and patio and the classrooms, improving both structural integrity and functionality. Upgrades to the HVAC and lighting systems further enhance energy efficiency and comfort, while interior renovations optimize space across the classrooms, offices, kitchen, and gymnasium. We’re proud to support Albina Head Start’s mission by revitalizing this vital community resource for generations to come. In 2014, Albina Head Start recognized Portland attorney Owen D. Blank by naming the building in his honor for over 20 years of pro bono legal and business support, bolstering financial stability for AHS to continue serving thousands of children across Portland.
