Artie Gonzales of Ace Hardware Store donated some space for an office and a place to park the ambulances on John Ralston and Green River.

Downtown Portland has been absorbing office space for about two years now.

We are busting at the seams over here. We only have about 2,000 square feet of office space and no showroom. We have a little office to show the work that we have done to prospective clients. But that is it.

We felt it would be a better use for the facility, rather than using it for office space. It would be a good hands-on experience, having the children there. It's part of their cultural history.

We've got almost 1 million square feet of new office space under construction.
