Project Complete
Pence/Kelly Concrete, LLC Building Remodel

This project transformed an existing 18,000 SF building into Pence Kelly Concrete’s new World Headquarters, including a change of use from office space to a construction contracting facility. The renovation creates a functional workplace supporting administrative, training, and shop operations.
Interior improvements included removing and rebuilding walls to establish new offices, training rooms, and installing a 3-hour fire barrier to create separate fire areas. Updated finishes include LVT, carpet, quartz countertops, a custom reception desk, new lighting, and fresh interior paint. The Wood slat ceiling in the reception lobby and conference room add warmth and visual interest, while new storefront glazing down the hallway creates a more open office environment while maintaining privacy for confidential conversations. The rear of the building was opened up to accommodate shop operations.
Exterior improvements included new paint, a reconfigured parking lot, perimeter fencing, and a more welcoming building entrance.

Amity School District Office

This new office provides a functional and modern home base for school district administrators. The 2,900 SF building features a boardroom, reception area, private offices, a flexible open office, and open lunchroom. The boardroom is strategically located apart from offices to allow its after-hours use while the rest of the building remains locked and secure.
The building is located adjacent to the recently remodeled high school, but also on a corner lot of a residential neighborhood. The residential scale, gable roof, and lap siding were chosen to respect the context of the surrounding neighborhood, while exterior colors and the contemporary steel-framed entry canopy help the building to blend in with the adjacent high school.

This month, we took our annual summer picnic to Silver Falls State Park! We spent the day enjoying delicious food, having some fun with a piñata, and taking in the breathtaking waterfalls 🧺🪅🏞️

Good food, beautiful views, lots of laughs, and even better company! It was a wonderful day spent together as a team, and we’re already looking forward to the next one!

Last month, our team enjoyed spending the day at Salem Executives Association (SEA) Annual Golf Tournament at Salem Golf Club ⛳

SEA has long been about bringing people together, and the annual golf tournament is a great example of that mission in action. The day offered plenty of opportunities to connect, share conversations, and strengthen relationships with professionals throughout our local business community—all while enjoying some friendly competition. The barbecue afterward was the perfect way to wrap up an enjoyable day.

Thank you to SEA for continuing to foster a community where businesses can grow together. We appreciate the opportunity to connect and are already looking forward to next year!

Chemeketa Community College YVC Medical Assisting Classroom Remodel

Building 2 at the Chemeketa Yamhill Valley Campus recently underwent an interior remodel that, while modest in scope, brings meaningful improvements to the overall student experience. This remodeled classroom space will primarily support Medical Assisting instruction, while also providing flexible learning space to serve the needs of Early Childhood Education, EMT, and other workforce training programs at YVC. The updated design refreshes the space with modern finishes and a more functional layout.

Key improvements include a welcoming reception area that serves as a clear and accessible first point of contact, expanded classrooms designed to support more interactive and collaborative learning, and an all-inclusive restroom layout with durable materials and fixtures. Together, these improvements create a more engaging, inclusive, and student-centered environment.

Project Introduction 👋
Chemeketa Community College Building 7 Renovation

Ground has officially been broken on Chemeketa Community College’s Building 7 for its extensive renovation. Building 7 is home to the Health & Human Performance and Athletics Programs, and serves as a vital hub for students, faculty, athletes, and community members. As it is often one of the first touchpoints for visitors to campus, this facility plays an important role for community members and students alike. The renovation aims to create a welcoming environment that supports both academic success and athletic achievement. While much of the project focuses on upgrades of mechanical and electrical systems, a new roof, and seismic improvements, the design intent extends beyond building systems. Selected areas will receive new space layouts and interior finishes will be updated throughout the building. The refreshed facility will reflect Chemeketa’s commitment to student well-being, accessibility, inclusivity, and community engagement.

Project Highlights:
• Modernized locker room areas
• More flexible classroom spaces
• A variety of fitness rooms to support multiple activity types
• Restrooms with improved ADA accessibility
• Focused learning spaces for student support and well-being
• An updated gymnasium including new flooring and expanded bleacher seating
• An inviting lobby featuring reclaimed building elements that blend the building’s history with a fresh new vision

We’re excited to see this transformation take shape and create an enhanced experience for current and future generations of Chemeketa's students.

Project Update 🚧
The Gate Youth Association Building Expansion

The Gate Youth Association has broken ground for the building expansion! Facet Architects designed the original building in 2017, which was completed in 2020. The facility has already surpassed the anticipated attendance rates, and this new addition is designed for that continued growth and to expand opportunities for local youth. The project will add 7,128 sq. ft. to the existing 11,600 sq. ft. facility that will include two classrooms, an upstairs multipurpose area, a game room, and staff offices. Project highlights include an elevator installation for improved accessibility, a mass-plywood panel floor system for structural support and reduced sound transfer, and an open web joist ceiling for an open feeling. Construction is underway, and we are excited to be part of a project that plays such an important role in supporting and growing the community.
