Safety vest
Space is limited, so please RSVP
The Capitol Accessibility, Maintenance and Safety (CAMS) project was approved by the 2016 Legislative Assembly to address Americans with Disabilities Act deficiencies; at-risk mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems; and security and life-safety issues in the Oregon State Capitol building.
The first two phases reworked outdated building systems, made entrances more accessible and took steps to seismically retrofit the building’s office wings.
Last year, lawmakers approved the third phase that updates the 1938 portion of the building that contains the House and Senate chambers and offices for the governor, state treasurer and secretary of state.
Beyond seismic and safety upgrades, including sprinkler systems, the third phase is slated to add four hearing rooms, offer a new café, and revamp work areas for journalists and lobbyists.
