Grants Pass Welcome Center Renovation
Nestled in the historic district, the renovated Grants Pass Welcome Center provides a modern, convenient gateway for regional tourism.
Project Overview
The previous facility was outdated and inefficient. CDArchitects (CDA) collaborated with the City of Grants Pass and the Historic Buildings and Sites Commission to modernize the building while preserving its historic context. A key addition is the “G” Street-facing veranda and new lobby access doors. This creates an inviting outdoor gathering space that connects the building to the neighborhood.
