Glencoe High School was built in the early 1980’s; and reflects the school design style of that era – minimum windows, simple shapes and poorly defined entries. The school’s layout creates safety and security concerns that were not apparent at that time. The revised design clearly identifies a secured point of entry, locates the main office, student services and library services are adjacent to the entry to maintain passive supervision and controlled entry access.

The City of Happy Valley had outgrown its farmhouse city hall in the center of Happy Valley’s residential community. A new city hall would be relocated on a major commercial street and expand to house all public services. The sloped roofs, varying heights, clarity of the front door and reinforcement of street corners provided The City with a design that exemplifies the “Happy Valley Design” established as the standard all future developments in Happy Valley.

Kennedy High School is a mid-century modern school when schools were addressing the demand for post-war enrollment growth. School designs were fast to construct, inexpensive and profoundly influenced by a factory model.

The design integrated previously, underutilized areas and added new spaces to create a safe and secure entry and public space for students. Design services provided as Principal of BLRB Architects..

University of Oregon’s operations needed space for a football facility expansion adjacent to Autzen Stadium. The practice fields west of Autzen were jointly used by football, soccer, and lacrosse. Those fields were relocated and expanded to the east of Autzen, adjacent to PK Park. Pape Field provides a standalone faciliity for Collegiate Soccer and Lacrosse. The design created an exciting Collegiate Athletic venue commensurate with other University of Oregon facilities with a significantly smaller budget.
