THE NEWEST BUILDINGS · 2021–2022
A college campus for 10,600 people, built around a lake
Nike chose low buildings spread across the landscape instead of towers, arranged like a college quad around a man-made lake. The soil dug for the lake became a tree-lined berm with running paths. The newest additions are the LeBron James Innovation Center, home of the Nike Sport Research Lab, and the 1-million-sq-ft Serena Williams Building, where design, insights and merchandising teams work together for the first time.
- ≈ 400 acres (≈ 162 ha)
- Lake, trails, track and fields
- Buildings named after athletes
- Serena Williams Building — Skylab Architecture
- LeBron James Innovation Center — Olson Kundig
- LEED Platinum (newest buildings)
Built for testing
The LeBron James Innovation Center holds the Nike Sports Research Lab, with indoor fields, a track and courts for testing products.

- 1964 A basement on SE Claybourne, Portland
Phil Knight and his former coach Bill Bowerman shook hands on a partnership at lunch in Portland on January 25, 1964, and Blue Ribbon Sports was born. In April, 300 pairs of shoes arrived at Knight's parents' house on SE Claybourne; he stacked them in the basement laundry room — the first office.
