The Portland-based non-profit group, Mercy Corps, spent $37 million to renovate and add to a historic 1892 building that initially served as a wholesale grocery distribution facility. The 80,000-square-foot building boasts solar panels, a green roof and natural ventilation as elements of its Platinum designation. The project was financed by a combination of a capital campaign, tax credits and grants, according to the organization. (Photo courtesy of Mercy Corps)
