A huge thank you to Peggy Flavin for painting this incredible mural in our Atlanta space! Highlighting connectivity through railroads, roads, bridges, and even the old turnstile our building was built on, it beautifully captures Portal's mission of facilitating collaborative and innovative life science ecosystems locally and nationally. The green palette, plant life, and peaches, of course, pay homage to Atlanta, "the city in a forest," known for its lush vegetation.
