sustain
Sustainability is a significant consideration with building today.
Similar to our core value of building standards and educational program being the guardrails for a successful project. Sustainability also should be included in these standards. Whether the intent is pursuing a certification or utilizing due diligence to ensure efficient building methods, products and construction practices, we make it a priority to discuss the goals and vision of the district.
ashland case study
As part of the Ashland School District Bond Program, HMK partnered with Brightworks.
After research and initial meetings with the district, it was determined that the program would align with the City of Ashland’s Climate Energy and Action Plan (CEAP).
CEAP outlines 60 strategies for the design, construction and operation of city buildings. The project team has identified approximately 20 strategies that will be used as standards for the design and construction of the Ashland Bond Projects.

SOESD | Second-story framing is progressing steadily at SOESD, including work on the upper roof structures. As part of the design intent to create a bright and welcoming environment for staff and students alike, all second-floor hallways will feature multiple clerestory windows, allowing natural light to filter through the high-ceiling corridors and enhance the interior space.

RSD | Vern Patrick Elementary Roofing Project Pre-Bid Walk
A pre-bid walk is an on-site meeting where contractors can visit a project location before submitting a bid. Pre-bid walks are a vital step in the bidding process for our K-12 bond projects. They give all interested local contractors a fair and equal opportunity to see the project site in person and fully understand the scope of work. This ensures bids are accurate, competitive, and comprehensive - leading to better results for our schools and community. When contractors can ask questions and assess conditions firsthand, they’re better equipped to deliver high-quality work within budget. These walks also promote transparency and support local participation in public projects.

Rebuilding North Medford High School Gymnasium: Restoring Facilities for Athletics and Physical Education
Medford School District continues to forge ahead capitalizing on every opportunity to encourage the process of restoring useable space for athletics and physical education on the NMHS campus. While the recently contracted gym rebuild design team including Arkitek: Architecture and Design in collaboration with Integrus Architecture focus on the ongoing structural review and preliminary design development, MSD is pursuing a pre-engineered metal building (PEMB) just east of the existing gymnasium. Understanding the complexity of the evaluation, design and rebuild of what remains of the previous gym, utilizing the short construction duration of a PEMB provides the best opportunity for restoration of useable space by the start of the 2025/2026 school year. Contractors interested in bidding the project were afforded the opportunity to meet on site at NMHS last week to discuss design/construction parameters and to review site conditions in anticipation of bidding on the project. Proposals for the new interim gymnasium were received this week including details on construction of a 100’x140’ covered steel structure. This space will serve NMHS while the evaluation and imminent rebuild of the existing gym develops.
