The Eugene Farmer's Market Pavilion and Plaza is a welcome addition to the treasured Lane County Farmer's Market.

The plaza is a neighborhood hub that boasts performances and community activity.

Special features

  • 100% Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) including the structure walls down to the utility boxes for improved sustainability.

  • The semi-conditioned space is designed to be fully open to the outside.

  • Radiant floor heating on indoor aisles targets where people walk for a comfortable heating system that reduces the energy load.

  • The robust electrical system is designed to grow with the space, including allowing food trucks to plug in outside.

  • Assistive listening and AV hookups are embedded in the floor slab so anyone that is hard of hearing can still enjoy performances and presentations.
