- Ecotrust, a conservation organization based in Portland (www.ecotrust.org) purchased the warehouse in 1998 with the generous help of Jean Vollum. The Jean Vollum Natural Capital Center, as it is formally called, has become a location for vibrant engagement on issues of sustainability. The Conference Center and Terrace were conceived of as community gather spaces--places for the transformative interaction--as well as a source of sustaining revenue for the non-profit Ecotrust. The Natural Capital Center was the nation's first historic building to be certified LEED Gold. In 2008, Ecotrust formalized a partnership with the American Institute of Architecture (AIA) to manage rentals at the Center for Architecture on Friday evenings and weekends. The Center for Architecture building was initially a horse stable and is believed to be one of the oldest buildings still standing in the Pearl District. The Center for Architecture is the first AIA chapter office to be certified LEED Platinum.
