New Gilkey Middle School
The design solution took inspiration from the nurse logs, which create habitat for new seedlings by providing them initial structure and nourishment. For this project, the school created “habitat for middle schoolers” to grow, find their own inspiration, and work in community with their teachers to become our next global citizens. There is a large, social space in the central Hub, and collaboration space along each wing and outside of the classrooms for small social or study groups. These areas make extremely efficient use of what otherwise is circulation space, as well as providing options for different students' needs.
The construction budget for this project was very low and the site very challenging. The use of very expensive materials in simple ways to create an open and versatile school environment is a second area of interest.
Lastly, the creating of "cabins in the woods" for the classrooms and teacher work rooms gives both flexibility for the classrooms to change use and teaching pedagogy over time, but also to allow for students to have more of a feeling of independence while still having support and oversight from responsible adults nearby.

Tigard High School
Built in 1952, Tigard High School has been a longstanding community landmark. As the student population increased over the years, the facility expanded in an irregular manner with additions built in all available spaces. Outdated mechanical, lighting, and electrical systems were replaced as needed, resulting in a patched system of utility upgrades that proved inadequate and undependable as demand increased. The project goals are to rebuild and upgrade the 1953 portions of the school, improve student safety and security with a centralized and visible school office and visible entry point, and create 21st century learning opportunities by expanding CTE and makerspace for project-based learning.
School district planners will have the opportunity to tour the school during Tigard’s first phase of construction on an occupied site and observe the results of well-planned logistics and excellent teamwork. Critical issues when planning Tigard’s construction schedule included student safety, noise mitigation, emergency vehicle access, and clear exiting pathways.

Mentors Needed
Would you like to share your knowledge of architecture, engineering, and construction with middle school students and helps shape their understanding of what our built environment in the future could be like? The Oregon and Southwest Washington Chapter is looking for volunteers to be mentors for middle school students in the Metro area as they participate in the
SchoolsNEXT Design Competition, which challenges student teams to design their “school of the future”. Mentors will work directly with students and their teachers, and can volunteer for as much time as they are able. Planning, design, construction and operations knowledge in all fields and skills are welcome. The competition starts in Fall and concludes with the Chapter competition in March. This is a great opportunity to educate our sustainability leaders of the future! Contact
Robert Allen or
Katrina Shum Miller for more information.
