On November 9, 2023, AIA Oregon members and friends convened at the Portland Museum of Art to commend design excellence at the Oregon Architecture Awards. Among the celebrated achievements, LEVER was honored with two notable distinctions: the AIA Oregon Honor Award and the AIA Oregon 2030 Merit Award for Adidas Headquarters Expansion and Gold Building.

Adidas selected the team of LEVER Architecture, O+A, and GGN to expand their North American Headquarters in Portland, Oregon, achieving LEED Gold certification. This expansion featured two mass timber buildings integrated with a new central sports plaza, enhancing campus connectivity and transforming the existing landscape. Inspired by small stadium dynamics, the architecture emphasized the intersection of creative work, community, and sport. This project marked a significant milestone in mass timber construction in the United States, showcasing regional timber and innovative structural systems that reflected the Pacific Northwest's identity and forestry culture.
