OREGON CITY, Oregon (Nov. 16, 2024) – PCL Construction Services, Inc., joins Fengate Asset Management (Fengate) in celebrating their dual wins at the 2024 P3 National Awards, where the Clackamas County Courthouse Replacement Project was honored with two awards: Best Social Infrastructure Project and the Environmental Impact Award.

“This award recognition highlights our successful collaboration with Fengate and the quality of work we’ve delivered together on Oregon’s first P3 project,” said Jon Kindrachuk, PCL senior project manager for the Clackamas County Courthouse Replacement project. “This project sets a new benchmark in sustainable, efficient, and community-centered design and construction that we hope will inspire future projects across the state and beyond.”

The Clackamas County Courthouse Replacement Project addresses the pressing need to replace the existing courthouse – originally constructed in 1936 to service a population less than 50,000 – with new infrastructure that meets modern sustainability standards and is equipped to support the needs of a growing population of more than 420,000.

The new courthouse targets LEED Gold certification and incorporates several sustainability features to improve environmental performance, including photovoltaic panels, high-efficiency equipment and the electrification of systems. Once operational, the project aims to reduce electricity use by 53.4% and natural gas use by 88.1% from the baseline – a total target greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction of 62.2% every year.

“The Clackamas County Replacement Courthouse Project exemplifies how the public and private sector can collaborate effectively to address the pressing need to decarbonize and revitalize infrastructure,” said Karl Schaefer, Clackamas County Courthouse Replacement Project Executive at Fengate.

“Fengate embeds environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations in every project, and we are proud to see the courthouse project recognized for its positive environmental and social impact.”

Fengate-led consortium, Clackamas Progress Partners, composed of Fengate Asset Management, DLR Group, PCL and Honeywell, was awarded the contract to design, build, finance, operate and maintain the new 257,000 square foot courthouse in 2022. Construction is scheduled to be complete in 2025.
