Sisters
School District Campus Master Plan - Sisters, OR.
The
new $21 million high school features 22-acres of playing fields,
an environmental studies pond, an outdoor amphitheater and a commons
at the heart of the school that functions as the cafeteria and as
a lobby for the 1500-seat performance gym and 750-seat theater.
The entry plaza serves as an exterior commons, bus waiting area
and outdoor performance space. One design goal was to blend into
the beautiful ponderosa pine forest and take advantage of the incredible
mountain views. This was accomplished by using natural colors and
materials and carefully developing the master plan. Select view
corridors were developed while saving as much natural landscape
as possible. The exterior of the building uses materials that are
low maintenance and durable, yet aesthetically pleasing.
“However,
the most notable work that I want to note was the work Scott and
his firm did in all aspect of the design and architectural work
for the new Sisters High School completed in 2003. Again Scott was
the principal and lead architect for this project. The results are
incredible! The facility Scott designed and led his project team
to develop is one that has resulted in a tremendous amount of community
pride. It is a durable and sustainable school that serves as a center
for community activities that I have no doubt will last well into
the next century.”
