DESCHUTES COUNTY JUSTICE CENTER ADDITION/REMODEL

Bend, OR

SAA worked extensively with the County and the Oregon Judicial Department on this major renovation. The project has greatly enhanced the character of Bond Street and Greenwood Avenue as it repaired the stark existing building by creating a more urban, pedestrian friendly, and contextual new addition.

“Thanks for all the hard work and your creative design of the Justice Building remodel. I liked the building’s new facade from the moment I saw it. Its urban look is architecturally pleasing and is a vast improvement of the existing structure. Spending the extra time to explore and develop a long-term site plan that we can grow into over the next 20 years is also a major advantage to the justice system. Congratulations on a job well done and creating a design that should endure and provide added character to downtown Bend for years to come.”

DESCHUTES COUNTY ADULT JAIL EXPANSION

Bend, OR

The expansion includes a new 144 bed addition with a secondary central control unit. The jail addition is currently being constructed while the building is occupied, so special security measures are being implemented to insure safety to employees, as well as maintaining the security of the facility. In addition SAA designed an expanded secure employee parking area adjacent to the jail.

Steele Associates worked closely with the City of Madras to design the new City Hall/Police Station, a concept for the entire block, and a public plaza. SAA donated their services to integrate the new Tommy Tucker Memorial and existing Veteran’s Memorial into the design. This project won a Building a Better Central Oregon Award, the 2013 HDDC Commercial Project Award and is Energy Trust of Oregon Gold Certified.

“In the last several years the City of Madras has worked with Scott Steele and his firm on several projects. Their commitment to our community exceeded any common business relationship. Their work products have been exceptional. And, importantly, it was obvious that they “listened” to us and our citizens as they applied their talent, art and professionalism . . . We have worked with many fine architectural firms and engineers and I can say with certainty that Steele Associates rises above all of them.”

DESCHUTES COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE RENOVATION

Bend, OR

SAA worked with the sheriff’s office representatives to identify key components of the design and encourage more efficient use of space. The 12,000 SF project is classified as an essential facility and was delivered on time and under budget.

“Our new offices are so nice. I just walked by the break room . . . the sun is out and the light is so awesome in there. Everyone that has come through has said how nice everything flows. You guys did a great job even though we tried to hack it up from time to time. How nice it feels to come to work and be in this space . . . it is great.”

DC JAIL REMODEL AND ADDITION

This project also included a 570 SF Evidence Storage Addition at the DC Sheriff’s Office.

“Beginning such a remodel/construction project as ours starts with a good architect and we knew the end result would rest directly on choosing the right design team and we did just that. Working with Steele Associates was a pleasure for us. From the start of demolition through framing inspection we had little, if any, questions regarding the remodel design. The detail of the remodel drawings helped move the project along with a speedy route to completion. We look forward to working with Steele Associates on future projects and we fully recommend them without any reservations.”
