Edith Green – Wendell Wyatt Federal Building, Federal government building in downtown Portland, United States.
The Edith Green-Wendell Wyatt Federal Building is a 18-story office tower in downtown Portland featuring a glass exterior with vertical shading elements on its western wall. Inside, various federal agencies maintain offices across over 512,000 square feet of floor space.
The building was completed in 1974 as a modern office structure. It underwent major renovation in 2013 with funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to upgrade systems and features.
The building carries the names of two former members of Congress who represented Oregon. This dual naming reflects their contributions to federal service and state representation.
The building has security checkpoints at its entrances since it houses multiple federal agencies. Plan extra time for security screening if you need to enter, and bring valid identification.
The building features rooftop solar panels that generate a portion of its energy supply. A rainwater collection system on the roof captures water annually for irrigation and sanitary purposes.
