Get OSU ID

Once you receive your OSU ID card, you must complete online surveys to gain access to the Meier & Frank building. Please reach out to Albert Le via email at [email protected] or (503) 273-4315 to get your ID card programmed for the access.

From the main entrance on Morrison Street, you will need to swipe your programmed ID card at the exterior set of doors on the street, the interior set of doors, and the elevator to get to OSU’s second floor space.  There is also an access point on Alder Street accessible with your programmed ID card and available to those needing bicycle storage in the A level basement.

If you misplace your ID card, please notify OSU Portland Center operations staff (Albert Le via email at [email protected] or (503) 273-4315) immediately so the card can be deactivated. The replacement fee for a lost ID is $25.00 and must be obtained through the OSU ID Center.

Passenger elevators to the OSU Portland Center are located inside the Morrison Street entrance for standard use and are accessible during regular building hours. Elevators can be accessed via programmed OSU ID card.  Access through the elevator is limited to the A level basement, first and second floors.


As an office building, the Meier & Frank Building is shared with other professional firms and organizations.  Respect and courtesy to other building tenants when using common areas such as the first floor, elevators and bicycle storage is expected from all faculty, staff and students.
