Graduate students from the University of Oregon’s urban architectural research lab in Portland will give a report next week on their ideas for downtown The Dalles. The students used The Dalles as their annual project. Port of The Dalles Executive Director Andrea Klaas says the students have been researching and visiting the community all year, and have come up with ideas for how to re-use and improve existing buildings. Klaas says the students are going to be doing two presentations on June 18 at The Mint, with more details to be announced. She says in between the students will be taken to some of the unused spaces in downtown The Dalles to generate more ideas.
