University of Portland:
Since 1901 the University of Portland has devoted itself to an education of the heart and mind by focusing on three central elements: teaching, faith, and service. Today the University is ranked among the top 10 schools in the West by U.S. News and World Report and boasts some of the finest teachers in the country. The University has grown to a vibrant intellectual community of 3,500 students and 316 professors, serving an on campus community of about 2000 students. It is this element that has challenged Environments to collaborate on addressing the multi-faceted furniture solutions across a broad spectrum of housing, food service, classroom, administration, faculty and casual space utilization. Leading with Knoll and supported by a host of highly acclaimed seating and specialty products manufacturers, we have helped create world class educational environments.
