Our designs create value for clients and occupants by enriching the architectural and economic fabric of the communities that they are a part of.

“Scott and STEELE Associates have literally been changing the face of Central Oregon. I’ve worked with Scott on numerous anchor projects from a new home for Crook County Health Department and Mosaic Medical to an expanded Bowman Museum to a federally funded education and computer center in Prineville. Scott and his colleagues have brought heart and brains to each project. A STEELE building puts new life on the street, new pride in a community and represents in glass, steel and stone all that communities aspire to be.”
