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.
