For the last few years I've been volunteering at the Portland Radio Authority and finally, after months of planning and trying to move on zero budget, we finally have a new location that will go live in a few days once our internet is turned on. Its located at 833 SE Main in Portland Oregon.
One of the main things that we decided that we needed for the new studio was a separate sound-proof air studio and lobby. Plus we needed it to be fully accessible to people in wheel chairs, and ideally accessible and open to the public. Our previous space in a 6th floor walk up had none of those amenities, but this one, a small storefront studio fits our needs perfectly. I did the architectural work, and was one fourth of our little construction crew. I'll have more photos later once its 100% done, but below are some progress shots of the construction.
