Pilot House Expansion

“Critically important to any campus is a true gathering space — a place where students, faculty , staff, and alumni canjoin together as a community.” Rev. Mark L. Poorman, C.S.C.

The University of Portland campus, thanks to the many donors of the RISE campaign, has been able to create the building blocks that support an academic and social community. There is a place for students to study with the new Clark Library; a place to enjoy a meal together — Bauccio Commons; and soon, a place for health and wellness with the opening ofthe Beauchamp Recreation Center next summer. Missing from this list is a dedicated socialspace that can benefit the entire University community.

The Pilot House has welcomed thousands of students and alumni over the years and can continue to do so for generations to come with these renovations. A reimagined and redesignedPilot House can become that social component — a place that extends the community experience of the University. It will be a place that is open in the evenings, providing music, performances, and other entertainment. It will have a comfortable lounge area with seating anda friendly ambiance, serving pub-type fare and beverages. It will be a place where people willwant to be together.
