Willamette U Plans Academic Building
Portland – Hennebery Eddy Architects has been selected to design a new Academic Building on the Willamette University Campus in Salem. The design team for the 41,000-sq-ft classroom and office building is led by principal Timothy R. Eddy, project manager Doug Reimer, and project designer David Wark. They are supported by architectural staff members Steven Eggelston and Bethany Gelbrich. Consultants include: DuPont Engineering, James D. Graham & Associates, DCI Engineers, Mayer/Reed, Listen Acoustics, KPFF, Green Building Services, and Glumac International. Hoffman Construction is the general contractor for the project.
The $16 million academic building was funded, in part, by an $8 million gift from an anonymous donor. Hennebery Eddy Architects is currently completing programming for the new structure which is being designed to achieve LEED Gold Certification. Groundbreaking is planned for fall of 2008 and project completion is set for fall 2009.
Airport Terminal Breaks Ground on Coast
North Bend – Skanska USA Building Inc., Portland, broke ground on a new terminal building and control tower at Southwest Oregon Regional Airport. Located in North Bend, it is the only airport on the Oregon coast to serve commercial airlines.
The new two-story, 27,000-sq-ft commercial airline terminal, which will be located on a bluff overlooking the existing terminal, will feature expansive elongated windows providing views of Coos Bay. Additionally, Portland-based Zimmer Gunsul Frasca Architects has incorporated design elements that draw parallels with the local communities and surrounding landscape. Large exposed ribbed wood beams in the interior of the terminal are a tribute to the area’s two primary industries – timber and boat building.
The new terminal and tower are anticipated to be completed in the summer of 2008 and will be able to accommodate three airlines and up to 120 passengers; the existing terminal only serves 40. In addition to the new terminal building, Skanska is building a 95-foot-tall 5,000-square-foot control tower. |
