The teams behind two Portland venues are teaming up for a new one.

Washington High School, which last saw students before the days of "16 Candles" and "Pretty in Pink," will be the site of Revolution Hall starting in 2015.

The new venue, housed in the school's auditorium, has a seated capacity of over 850 and will open in February, its founders said in a press release. Jim Brunberg and Kevin Cradock of Mississippi Studios and Mark Adler of True West, the event promoter which owns the Aladdin Theater, are the forces behind Revolution Hall, which will be joined in the school space by a pair of bars, a roof deck and -- a growing concern in Southeast Portland -- parking.

On Monday morning, the site was fenced off, under construction and still looking for other tenants. Three-quarters of the 113,505-square-foot space at the corner of Southeast 14th and Stark Street has been leased so far, according to the building's owners, with New Seasons Market's corporate offices coming to the third and fourth floors.

Revolution Hall joins the Doug Fir Lounge, Holocene and other nearby venues, with a capacity that will allow for larger shows than the neighborhood's used to. No word yet on who might open Revolution Hall, but Sleater-Kinney still hasn't announced a Portland reunion show, either. Hmm.
