All Classical Portland Offers Open House as part of Design Week Portland, 2017 For the first time, All Classical Portland will offer a special Open House in collaboration with Design Week Portland. Having been specially designed and constructed just two years ago, the All Classical Port- land studios offer an unparalleled opportunity to experience first-class design within the context of a highly functional 24/7 modern media facility. The station’s gorgeous and state-of-the-art location on the banks of the Willamette River is designed as an “open studio” to welcome visitors, broadcast performances with live studio audiences, and host events. With a tip of the hat to Danish modern, min- imalist and mid-century aesthetics, the space is both visually appealing and highly inspirational with its incomparable views of Tilikum Crossing. Hundreds of miles of cables in the Terminal Operations Center are on fully organized display behind a glass façade in a working control room. Tens of thousands of CDs meticulously organized and categorized serve a ro- bust and enviable program of music. Modifiable in- terview studios adjust according to each particular situation with modular furniture and reconfigurable acoustic panels attracted to the magnetically charged paint that covers the walls. Flexible event space flows into a live performance studio which features a Stein- way grand piano, custom built cello riser, and unique lighting options. Atomic clocks that link to NASA and are accurate down to the millisecond keep time for the on-air hosts who draw inspiration from the spa- cious, high-tech observatory with views of the Willa- mette River and pedestrian bridge.
