The building was completed in 1970 and was the world's tallest reinforced concrete structure at that time. This engineering achievement made it a landmark in skyscraper design.
The building displays two notable art installations: a white marble sculpture called The Quest at the entrance and a chrome sculpture in the basement.
The center is located in downtown Portland and is easily accessible by public transportation. The lobby and entrance areas are open to visitors during business hours.
