Firsthand’s founder, Chris Blandford, has purchased a building for the school and Firsthand’s permanent HQ; renovations are currently in progress.
- Role: subject
- In the article: Firsthand founder Chris Blandford has bought a building for the school and permanent HQ, with an 8,000-square-foot hub opening in 2026. It will include a 3,000 square foot metalworking shop and classrooms.
- Why it matters: City is documented as Portland, Oregon but the building is unnamed, so the city point is used.
- Where is it?: ⚠️ inferred. Clues in the text: “UBI’s (now shuttered) framebuilding course here in Portland”; “purchased a building for the school”; “Made Bike Show” What reference works say: Bikepacking.com says “in Portland, Oregon”; Bikerumor says “an 8,000-square-foot building in a south Portland Neighborhood”. No article gives a street or address. Chosen: Portland, Oregon (south Portland neighbourhood; building address not published). Alternatives: Portland, Maine (ruled out by UBI/Reynolds context)
