Lloyd Center is also the name of a non-profit organization that provides educational programs on aquatic environments in southeastern New England.

Lloyd Center is a shopping mall in the Lloyd District of Portland, Oregon. The mall features two levels of shopping, and a third level food court, and professional offices. It also includes a Regal Cinema and an ice skating rink where Olympian Tonya Harding first learned to skate.

The mall opened August 1, 1960 in its original 100-store, open-air configuration. At the time it was the largest shopping center in Portland and in the Northwest region[citation needed], and claimed to be the largest in the world. (Actually, it had already been surpassed by the Lakewood Center [1951] and the Roosevelt Field Mall [1956].) Although very close to the downtown retail core, Lloyd Center was the first major retail development to seriously challenge it, aimed almost exclusively at commuters utilizing Portland's then-growing freeway system.

The mall's layout and decor were outdated by the 1990s, which saw a major renovation that enclosed the mall, added new anchor and retail space, and a food court.

The mall is well-connected to the regional transit system; TriMet buses stop right outside and MAX light rail stops one block away. (As this stop is in Fareless Square and mall parking is free, the lots are often used [illegally] by commuters and visitors to Downtown Portland.)
