Every decision that we make takes into consideration the long term impact on the facilities. We seek to build all buildings to be long lasting – durable – easy to maintain.
Our growth has been deliberate, building upon successful projects. We believe that we are only as good as our last project.
Our goal, when hired by a school district, is to lighten the Capital Project load on the client’s staff. We recognize that they already have a full time job. To this end, we have assembled a team of talented project professionals who carry the weight of the project from administrative tasks to budgeting, procurement, project accounting, project management, and planning. We have skilled team members and have established project processes to assist in every aspect of the management of the project or program.
We rally resources to achieve positive outcomes.
We value everyone’s contribution.
Our ceiling is the next generations’ floor.
We say it; we do it!

Rebuilding North Medford High School Gymnasium: Transitioning Behind the Scenes
With demolition and debris removal now complete, the site may appear quiet—but critical work is actively underway behind the scenes. This stage in the process is essential to laying the groundwork for a successful rebuild.
Now that the collapsed structure has been cleared, Outlier Construction will begin shoring the remaining structure and weatherproofing the exposed areas to prevent further damage from rain. These protective measures are key to stabilizing the building and preparing it for reconstruction.
At the same time, structural engineers representing both the Medford School District and the PACE Insurance Trust are conducting detailed assessments of the remaining building. Their work will confirm whether additional damage occurred during the roof collapse and help define the final reconstruction scope.
Meanwhile, the design team—led by Arkitek: Architecture and Design in collaboration with Integrus Architecture—has officially begun the design phase. On April 30, the District will issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the Construction Manager | General Contractor (CM|GC), the final core member of the project team.

Culver SD | We’re excited to share that the drawings and specifications for the upcoming seismic improvements to the existing Gym are now 90% complete! This important project will strengthen and preserve a beloved piece of campus history while enhancing student and community safety for years to come. Construction is set to begin this summer.
AMITY SD | Soriano Floor Finishing is making headway in the high school’s new competition gym with freshly installed hardwood floors. Across campus, MC Interiors is completing the new staircases in the middle school addition. These are important steps in the larger project to expand and modernize Amity’s facilities. The work may seem routine, but it’s a clear sign that the upgraded shared campus is coming together — with attention to detail and strong craftsmanship leading the way.

SOESD | The new SOESD building in Phoenix is taking shape with flexibility in mind. At the heart of the design is a versatile conference center, featuring a central partition wall that will allow the space to function as either one large conference room or two separate breakout spaces.
The large beam currently staged in front of the future conference rooms will soon be secured within the structural steel posts at either end of the space. This key support element will carry the load of the dividing partition walls, which are set to be installed once the building reaches the interior finishing phase.
Rebuilding North Medford High School Gymnasium: Wrapping Up Demolition, Preparing for Design
As week five of demolition concludes, meaningful progress continues on the path to restoring North Medford High School’s gymnasium. 3 Kings Environmental has completed its demolition efforts and is now beginning the de-mobilization process following the catastrophic roof collapse earlier this year.
In just a few weeks, the demolition team safely and methodically removed the collapsed roof structure, the north and west walls, and the damaged gym floor. With the debris now cleared from the site, the next phase is set to begin. Outlier Construction will soon mobilize to weatherproof and shore the remaining structure, ensuring a stable and protected environment as the project moves into design and reconstruction.
The site is now ready for the next chapter. Chris Brown of Arkitek: Architecture and Design, in collaboration with Integrus Architecture and a team of specialized engineers and consultants, is prepared to initiate the design process. The final scope of work will be shaped by the insurance company’s assessment of the building damage, which will define the full extent of reconstruction required. Once that determination is complete, the design team will begin crafting plans that honor the gymnasium’s legacy while creating a modern, functional space for future generations of students and the Medford community.
The Medford School District remains committed to transparency, progress, and ongoing community engagement. We look forward to sharing continued updates as the project transitions from demolition to design and toward reconstruction.
