The Mercy Corps project combined new construction with the rehabilitation of the historic 4-story Skidmore Fountain Building resulting in a contemporary utilitarian mixed-use facility. More than 80, 000 SF were developed to house Mercy Corps’ Global Headquarters and interactive public Action Center, Mercy Corps Northwest’s Small Business Development Center, community conference facilities and the Lemelson Foundation headquarters. The facility, which opened in October 2009, earned LEED Platinum Certification for its significant environmental impacts.
