Each of us has been affected by our nation's current economic downturn. Whether it be construction projects that have been scaled back or put on hold due to the tightening credit market, or the need for firms to make staff reductions, we are all having to make very difficult decisions as we watch the horizon for signs of a recovery.

In difficult times, it is critical that our profession continue to innovate and capitalize on new and existing opportunities while pulling together and looking out for one another.

This webpage has been developed by AIA Oregon in order to facilitate access to a wide range of resources for all architects throughout Oregon during the recession, including links to post your resume and search employment listings, and to keep architects connected to their design communities.

This page will be updated frequently as more programs and resources are identified.
