Health Professions Campus

Lewis built this Health Professions Campus in two phases. Phase I included a five-story facility to house health professions graduate programs, the Virginia Garcia Clinic and a pharmacy. During Phase II, Lewis constructed an adjacent building which accommodates 700 students and 80 faculty and staff members. To achieve LEED Gold certification Lewis employed green building practices, including recycling 97% of construction waste (Phase I) and a rainwater harvesting system, which has helped to reduce water consumption by nearly 50%.

East Portland Community Center Aquatics Addition

Lewis completed the first ever LEED Platinum public aquatic center. The project was an addition to a fully functioning community center. Work included pool mechanical and electrical systems, pumps and filters, heat exchangers, boilers, water treatment and chlorination systems, solar collectors and interactive water features including water slides. The project also included renovations to the existing community center, locker rooms and support areas.

Via6 Apartments

Lewis constructed two 24-story apartment towers in Seattle’s Belltown district. The 654 apartments are primarily one-bedrooms and studios, designed for high quality while remaining affordable to young professionals. Parking for 434 cars is provided in three levels below-grade.
