The City of Newberg combines their waste with sawdust to create compost through an anaerobic process. Convergence’s team designed a four-bay steel structure to accommodate their need to store the sawdust as well as equipment used for the process. The structure has poured concrete separators between bays that contributed complexity to the seismic design elements.

This remodel included multiple areas of the Wastewater Treatment Plant’s Administration Building. In the laboratory we replaced all of the casework, as well as adding new ceiling, lighting, and flooring. Specialty lab equipment was also updated and replaced. In the training room, we added more data, a new ceiling, and lighting, because this room doubles as an emergency operations center for the City of Newberg in the case of an emergency. We updated the building’s lobby to be secure and have a new access door, which included moving the reception area to the other side of the room and working with the existing architecture to create both a standing and a sitting reception desk areas. Finally, we transformed the mudroom to be an expanded Men’s Locker room for improved functionality.
