Dubiski Career High School is a career and technology campus focusing on equipping students with workplace skills. It features a precast concrete exterior that simulates veined, chiseled natural shell stone.
The look was achieved by randomly placing on the form surface organic pigments and fossilized scallop shells made from rubber molds of real shells, then pouring a low-slump concrete mixture into the form. Precast components were supplied by Hillsboro-based Gate Precast Co.
