Redmond Area Parks and Recreation New Athletic Facility |
Kirby Nagelhout and sub-contractors are continuing to make significant progress. As the weather cools off, Western Partitions Inc. have hung drywall in the entry and office area and finishes in the basketball court area. On the other side of the facility, Jack Robinson & Sons is digging out for the pool, which will have a large slide and 12’ deep end. There will also be a separate lap pool. In preparation for the pools, Apollo Mechanical, Tomco and others are installing all of the building and pool infrastructure (fire sprinkler, electrical, pool pumps, heating, etc.).

The Willamina Bond Program has entered the third and final phase of design, the construction documents (CD) phase. The design team, contractor, and school district all gathered last week to review the 50% CD set, giving everyone a feel for what the finished project will look like. The team from Oh Planning + Design even brought a virtual walk through, which allowed staff to see the proposed changes to the buildings in real time, ask questions, and help direct the design in a meaningful way that will have a positive and lasting impact on students and staff for years to come. ...

CGCC | Creating effective wayfinding on a college campus is about more than signs — it’s about shaping experiences. The process starts with understanding how people move: students rushing to class, visitors finding the admissions office, alumni returning for events. We map the journeys, identify decision points, and uncover where confusion happens. Next comes design strategy — crafting a visual language that reflects the school’s identity. Colors, typography, and materials must align with the campus architecture and brand, while remaining highly legible and accessible. We prototype, test in real environments, and adjust based on real-world behavior — not just maps. The result? A cohesive system that’s intuitive, beautiful, and welcoming from the first step on campus. Wayfinding done right doesn’t just direct — it connects. ...

TCS | We’re excited to share that the Tumalo Community School Renovations and Additions project has reached a major milestone in the design development!
The design team has worked closely with the district to create spaces that reflect the natural beauty surrounding Tumalo and Central Oregon. The architecture draws inspiration from the region’s rugged landscapes and connection to the outdoors, bringing those elements into the heart of the learning environment.
From material choices that echo the tones of local stone and juniper, to views that celebrate the nearby Deschutes River and its surrounding landscapes, every detail reinforces a sense of place — making the school a true extension of its community and environment. Inside, ideas are being explored for a custom environmental murals that brings the colors and textures of the Tumalo landscape indoors — blending art and nature to create an inspiring setting for students and staff alike.

SOESD | The skylights are officially in place and letting in plenty of natural light at the SOESD Phoenix building. This pyramid skylight, which is located directly above the main staircase, provides sunlight to both the first and second floors of the building. Also, even though the skylight is now in place on the roof, there’s still work to be done on the inside, so a scaffolding system was setup on a temporary platform to continue to provide access to the underside of the skylight while other finishes can continue to occur all around it. ...
