PSU Magazine Spring 2000

The new home of the College of Urban and Public Affairs is open for academic busi· ness. The buildings, connecting skywalk, and public plaza take up the block between SW Mill and Montgomery streets and SW Fifth and Sixth avenues. The College resides in the seven-story east wing, and a Distance Learning Center– fitted to receive and broadcast instruc– tional programs around the state– makes up the west wing. The PSU Bookstore will soon be the anchor tenant in ground-floor retail space, which looks out on a brick plaza with trees, benches, abstract art, and three fountains. The plaza will also contain a Tri-Met Transit Center and the southernmost stop for the Central City Streetcar. 0 SPRING 2000 PSU MAGAZINE 3
