RSD | The District and its consultants have now completed the 50% Construction Documents (CD) page-turn, marking an important step forward from the previously reviewed 100% Design Development (DD) set. Since the DD milestone, the team has advanced the drawings with increased technical detail and coordination across disciplines, translating the approved design direction into more fully developed construction-ready documents.
Building on the foundation established during design, the latest drawing set reflects refined building systems, more detailed specifications, updated layouts where needed, and strengthened alignment between architectural, structural, and MEP components. This phase also provided another opportunity to confirm District standards, incorporate end-user feedback, and resolve coordination items before progressing.
With continued collaboration and careful review, the Project Team is excited to keep the Redmond High School moderniztion project moving ahead with clarity, accuracy, and strong teamwork.

Big innovation has arrived in The Gorge.
Thanks to a federally funded grant, Columbia Gorge Community College has officially launched a new Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) 3D Printing Lab — and it’s a game changer.
Using advanced additive manufacturing technology similar to what industry leaders like NASA and GE Aerospace rely on, this lab can produce complex, high-strength metal parts layer by layer directly from a digital model.
What this means for our region:
🔹 Career-Ready Skills — Students gain hands-on experience with cutting-edge manufacturing technology used in aerospace, medical devices, automotive, and precision tooling.
🔹 Workforce Development — Local employers now have access to graduates trained in advanced manufacturing, right here at home.
🔹 Small Business Innovation — Entrepreneurs and manufacturers in our region can prototype and produce durable metal components without outsourcing to distant metro areas.
🔹 Economic Growth — Keeping advanced production capabilities local strengthens our rural economy and attracts new industry opportunities.
In a small community, access to technology like this doesn’t just educate — it transforms.
This new lab positions Columbia Gorge Community College as a regional hub for advanced manufacturing and gives students the opportunity to build the future without leaving home.

LBCC | Animal Science Center
The structure for the new Animal Science facility is coming together quickly. Crews are actively setting steel and shaping the wide-open interior that will soon support hands-on instruction and real-world training opportunities for students.
This progress is possible thanks to the leadership of Gerding Builders and the strong collaboration of project partners, including Ordell Construction (PEMB erection), Pacific Excavation (site work), Norse Ironworks (structural steel), and many other skilled trade contractors. Their teamwork is transforming plans into a dynamic learning environment for future animal science and agriculture professionals.
We look forward to sharing more milestones as construction continues.
