We invited our collaborators on the Oregon State Hospital Replacement Project to our office last week to review sign submittals prepared by Oregon Corrections Enterprises (OCE). Over lots of chocolate, we discussed OCE’s fabrication capabilities and brainstormed the best approach to achieving design intent using OCE materials and methods rather than technologies we might otherwise have specified. This congenial and collegial process resulted in a shared committment to each other’s success in the project.
