PORTLAND, Ore. — After more than a year of construction, renovations at the Oregon Convention Center are complete.

Officials from Metro and the Metropolitan Exposition Recreation Commission (MERC) joined the Oregon Convention Center in unveiling the building on Monday, renovated with the Pacific Northwest in mind.

The ceiling is a topographic map of the Cascade Mountain Range, and the new carpet is meant to resemble lichen growing in the forest.

PORTLAND, OR (KPTV) - Community leaders are celebrating the new and improved Oregon Convention Center.

Newly Renovated Oregon Convention Center Unveiled

by Rebecca Ellis, OPB

The Oregon Convention Center has emerged from a 14-month renovation looking, contractors hope, a little more like Oregon.

The carpets, black and grey with green splotches, are meant to resemble lichen. Staff say the new ballroom ceiling takes its inspiration from the forest. And the wooden slats on the ceiling create a topographical map of the Cascade mountain range.
