JE Dunn and Integrus Architecture worked together at the Port of Portland Parking Additions and Consolidated Rental Car Facility (PACR) project—a progressive design-build project for the Port of Portland.
The PACR Project includes three primary components: (1) a new six-level, 1.64M SF parking structure (2) a new four-story operations building with retail rental car center on the ground floor, and; (3) an on-grade connection building providing pedestrian access from the terminal’s south tunnel to the new rental car center and office building. The project also included the extension of the south tunnel to the new parking structure central core, extensive site utility work, landscaping, and vehicular/pedestrian circulation revisions throughout the 26-acre campus.
This progressive design-build project with Integrus Architecture included a new 6-level parking structure, a new 90,000 SF airport operations center with a retail rental car center on the ground floor, and an on-grade connection building providing pedestrian access from the terminals south tunnel to the new rental car center and office building.
In looking for ways to make the PDX Parking Additions and Consolidated Rental Car Facility (PACR) more sustainable the team explored options in the materials to reduce a building’s footprint.
The team used a material from CarbonCure, which manufactures a technology for the concrete industry that introduces recycled CO2 into fresh concrete to reduce its carbon footprint without compromising performance. Once injected, the CO2 undergoes a mineralization process and becomes permanently embedded. This makes the concrete stronger, enabling mix optimization while eliminating the CO2. The use of CarbonCure was also part of an effort for the Carbon offset credit of the overall project.
The results using this technology speak for themselves when it comes to increasing the sustainability of the materials themselves:
