Inspiring the Next Generation of Builders
Recently, we had the privilege of welcoming students from the Boys & Girls Clubs of America to CODA Tech Square for an evening of discovery and inspiration.
Together, we explored the many facets of what goes into creating a place like CODA — from construction and development to design, operations, and asset management. The students had the opportunity to see firsthand how ideas evolve into built environments and how collaboration between teams shapes the cities of tomorrow.
At Portman, experiences like these remind us why we do what we do. We’re not just building structures — we’re building opportunities, inspiring futures, and fostering curiosity in the next generation of visionaries.
At CODA, our mixed-use innovation hub in the heart of Tech Square, technology meets community. With its data center, flexible workspaces, and vibrant public areas, it’s a living example of how design can empower people — and how real-world exposure and mentorship can spark lifelong passion.
