Santiam Christian Schools

Santiam Christian Schools is a non-profit organization in Adair Village serving students from seven different counties (as well as international students). This expanding school was in need of updating and additional space, starting with a new gymnasium structure. This 35,000 sf concrete tilt-up and steel structure included a new gymnasium, six new classrooms and associated restrooms, a new kitchen and cafeteria area, and a new large locker area, wrestling room, and weight room. The project was completed on an accelerated schedule with the majority of work occurring while school was in session. The second project involved the demolition of an outdated classroom building, constructing a new 2-story 40,000 sf high school building in its place. The building used concrete tilt-up walls with steel structure and metal stud construction. The project included numerous sustainable building features such as highly energy efficient HVAC and lighting systems along with extensive day-lighting and green building materials. This building contained a community library, student store, home economics classroom, drama room with stage, multi-purpose classrooms and teacher facilities. Science labs and additional classrooms were part of the second floor construction and the overall project site included upgrades and construction of a new central quad area with memorial elements.
