Community Resilience Hubs Workshop

Join Scott Edwards Architecture for an afternoon of learning!

“Community Resilience Hub” is a term you may have heard by now. Throughout our country, major cities and communities are exploring or establishing the what/where/when/and how these public-serving facilities can best provide essential services to their residents. These hubs build social, economic, and climate resilience before, during, and after emergency events. During Portland’s Sustainable Building Week, Scott Edwards Architecture is hosting an educational and interactive experience on this topic. Attendees will learn more about Community Resilience Hubs by collaborating in small groups to develop resilient design strategies appropriate to a specific project type and local community’s needs using four SEA case studies. Each project (outlined below) will have a different hazard to respond to and budget to work within. Attendees can expect to leave with a deeper understanding of Community Resilience Hubs paired with tactical strategies of how to implement resiliency into existing or new facilities within their communities. No existing knowledge of the topic is necessary, just enthusiasm for building great communities.

SEA projects implementing a Community Resilience Hub:

• A rural year-round camp, rebuilding from a wildfire
• New affordable housing located in an urban downtown
• A coastal health and wellness center
• A suburban public works and police department campus

Please RSVP by September 27th. We look forward to learning with you!
