OSU Cascades Academic Building 2

Rosendin is providing electrical and data services for the construction of Academic Building 2 at Oregon State University’s Cascades Campus. The new building will provide a new learning environment for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math on the OSU Cascades campus while creating a vibrant student hub with active interior and exterior spaces. Its design will elevate the University’s identity in Bend while exemplifying its commitment to sustainability with a Net Zero Energy target and a regionally sourced mass timber structure. As the first building to engage a 46-acre reclaimed pumice mine acquired by the University for future campus expansion, Academic Building 2 will perch atop its steep eastern rim with panoramic views across the future west campus and to the mountains beyond. The building and its adjacent outdoor spaces will step with the topography to create a gateway and link between the existing upper campus and the future development in and around the bowl of the transformed mine.
