Early on, it was decided to join the buildings along Broadway Street with sky bridges, so char scudents and facul ty could move from buj[cling to building without crossing busy streets. Given the slope of Broadway, the sky bridges come out on a different floor in each building, continually confusing new students." In 1959, construction of the first section of the College Center, now known as Smith Memorial Student Union, was completed along southwest Montgomery (left) and Park streets. Portland State: A History in Pictures, by Richard Sanders '57 and photo editing by Brent Schauer, is a project of the Retirement Association of Port– land Stare.
