Oregon Department of State Lands Office project involved the renovation of approximately 1200-m2 (13,000-sf) of existing office space on the ground floor of the Oregon Department of State Lands Building, including demolition, new finishes, and mechanical and electrical improvements to be coordinated with the owner’s selection and purchase of new furniture systems. Additional scope included a controls upgrade for the entire building. This was the first design-build project from the Oregon Department of Administrative Services.
The second winner was the SLAC Science and User Support Building project. It included a new four-story, 5700-m2 (62,100-sf) building, a 350-seat auditorium with a vegetated roof, a cafeteria with two patio areas, and several collaboration spaces throughout the building. The first phase of the project involved the demolition of existing facilities including the original Panofsky Auditorium, visitor’s center, and cafeteria.
The third winner was the Spokane Central Service Center project. It is a consolidated fleet maintenance and solid waste facility for the City of Spokane, Washington. The project was designed to create operational efficiency, savings, and is the city’s first design-build project. Design-build was chosen to speed construction and control costs to meet consolidation functions identified since 1983. A thorough, yet revised plan with a design-build approach at the center was able to achieve this result.
The last winner in this category was the Wallace Creek North Bachelors Enlisted Quarters Complex project. Under a design-build contract, Brasfield & Gorrie and RQ Construction overcame a historic amount of rain during construction and the challenge of working on an active Marine Corps base to complete this LEED Gold and living environment for U.S. Marines. The accomplishment of the project is directly attributable to the teamwork demonstrated by all parties in utilizing a design-build approach to deliver a high quality complex.

DogStar was designed, constructed and commissioned in 14 months—from a zero percent design to 100 percent test runs of their new recipes.
