Kenwood Gymnasium

After heavy snowfall in January of 2017 collapsed the roof of the former gym, BBT was selected by Bend-La Pine Schools to design a new replacement facility. BBT worked with the community and educators in developing a modern facility that blends with the existing historical school. The project was completed under an accelerated schedule to ensure that students were able to access the facility as soon as possible.
