Since 1952, our American Institute of Architects – Southwestern Oregon (AIA-SWO) chapter has had a voice but never a place of its own .. until now! No longer hidden away from public view, we’ve arrived in the heart of downtown Eugene. Glowing like a lantern in the night, the Octagon is a member clubhouse, a community gathering place, and a gallery for art and design. Our new Center for Architecture was made possible by the many generous donations and expert services provided pro bono to make this dream become a reality. We thank you all!
