Aerials, Cascade Middle School, Bethel School District, Eugene, OR. Photos: Brian Davies.

Aerials show the two “wings” of the L-shaped Cascade Middle School that radiate from a central Commons. The classroom wing to the south conceals the building’s mechanical equipment between the higher shed roofs above the classrooms. Also on this flat roof, skylights bring light to the center of the building on both of its two floors. The PE/Athletics wing contains two gyms and support space. A 250kW array of solar panels covers the entire roof of this wing, providing on-site power generation and, during the summer, feeds back into the City’s electrical grid.

After construction of the new middle school was completed and the old school was demolished, the area to the SW was transformed into a large green open space. This area helps preserve many of the site’s beloved trees.

Swinerton General Contractors and their roofing subcontractor Kenco remove the original roofing and prepare for a new roof atop Willamette Hall at the University of Oregon. The failing original metal roofing, mounted directly to steel structural deck, is being replaced with a new roofing system over v***r barrier and new gypsum sheathing and will have a premium finish to preserve the original look of the building.

Built in 1989, Willamette Hall was designed by Moore Ruble Yudell, in association with Ratcliff Architects. It is a prime example of postmodernism in architecture. Charles Moore, one of the most famous practitioners of the movement, served as principal-in-charge on Willamette Hall.

Courtney Champagne has joined RBA as an interior designer. She excels at translating complex programmatic puzzles into intuitive, functional, and memorable spaces. With a fascination for how light, color, and materials shape human experience, she strives to create environments that enrich daily life. Her portfolio spans diverse sectors, including medical, hospitality, and commercial design. Courtney brings a multidisciplinary approach, rooted in her architectural training and a background in the arts. She holds an M.Arch and an M.IArch from the University of Oregon and a B.A. in Media and Theater Arts from Montana State University. Below is a brief Q&A with Courtney:

If you weren't an architect, what might you have done instead? I would be a gardener! I love plants, trees, and all the bugs that make their homes in our yard. I love tending to the flowers and seeing them mature. Whenever the kids call out for me, they usually find me in some corner of the yard pulling weeds or watching our resident longhorn bees.

Favorite building in Eugene? I grew up in Anchorage, AK, and have fond memories of attending performances at our Performing Arts Center, which was designed by the same firm that designed the Hult Center—Hardy Holzman Pfeiffer Associates. The vibrant lobby carpet and ornate concert halls are definitely core design memories. Walking into the Hult as an adult, with its equally vibrant carpet, brings me back to those childhood experiences and the excitement of going to performances.

Favorite board game? Can't go wrong with Monopoly. It's a bit of a love/hate relationship as those games went on for days in our house and were full of a lot of emotion! My son is now carrying the tradition forward and is proving to be just as passionate.

The Monteith Stage has cool new guerilla artwork. On a recent visit to Albany, there were hearts and hands subtly painted around the stage. Monteith Stage, designed by Rowell Brokaw, was part of the larger City of Albany Waterfront Redevelopment led by Walker Macy. Mark your calendar: the River Rhythms 2026 concert series kicks off in July and continues through August.

Cuteness alert: kids in hard hats.

The Bethel community celebrated the groundbreaking of Danebo Elementary School’s new building featuring a gymnasium, six classrooms, and a shared learning space connected to the existing building via a breezeway. The gym will provide ample space for P.E. and large assemblies, while also serving as a community asset.

The project also includes improvements to the existing school’s front entry, cafeteria and multipurpose room, and will add air conditioning to the existing classrooms. Students, staff, school board members, and project partners gathered to celebrate this exciting milestone.

The new building and the strategic renovation of Danebo Elementary School are the last major project to come out of Bethel's voter-approved 2020 bond. Construction begins this summer and is expected to continue through Spring 2027.

For many of us, the allure of the Willamette Valley is rooted in its natural environment; it sustains us on many levels—physically, mentally, spiritually, communally. We feel grateful for the natural beauty here. Rowell Brokaw has been a longtime financial supporter of the McKenzie River Trust, a nonprofit land trust whose mission is to help people protect and care for the lands and rivers they cherish in western Oregon.

Rowell Brokaw volunteered for an afternoon on Green Island. At the confluence of the McKenzie and the Willamette Rivers, Green Island provides more than 1,100 acres of essential habitat for numerous species. Our group helped remove invasive blackberries. There was sunshine and clouds and rain and all the weather you’d expect in Oregon. Thank you to McKenzie River Trust for this wonderful opportunity!

The first batch of beach volleyball sand was poured this morning! The women’s team was there to celebrate the milestone. Next up: many more truckloads of sand, interior and exterior finishes on the storage building, scoreboard, and planting. The facility will be ready for fall practice in September.

Will Mau and Rodney Williams from Fortis Construction were on-site for the pour. Project Architect Andrew Cohen has been working with them since the Hamilton Walton Transformation project started in 2019. Rendering of the project by Mithun.

Alongside Tom Goodhew and Sean Lindh from LCC and Katie Sciotto from Fortis, principal Mark Young and project manager Matt Travis led Rowell Brokaw staff on a recent tour of the Building 16 Renovation at Lane Community College. The renovation modernizes science-related spaces while addressing the building’s deferred maintenance backlog.

Highlights of the tour included the juxtaposition of old and new elements. New cross bracing, pendant lighting, and AV systems are woven into the original vaulted ceiling with exposed wooden beams and a metal truss system for structural support. In the chemistry lab, you can see the extensive HVAC systems for fume hoods.

The main phase of the renovation was completed in March 2026, and the remaining renovation and sitework will be completed this summer.
