The new Salem Family YMCA is a 3-story, 54,000 sf facility replacing the original 100 year old building in downtown Salem, across from the Capitol mall. The complex operational model incorporates a blend of public and member-only spaces organized around a central grand stair and wide circulation areas functioning as additional gathering space.

Salem Alliance Church needed a fresh, flexible space for its youth center. Located in a quiet residential neighborhood, the exterior needed to attract youth without detracting from the craftsman style homes from the 20’s & 30’s.

Designing a new cover for the amphitheater in this park is a great opportunity to recognize the significance of our past while propelling us forward into a bright future together.

CBTWO recently completed The Community at Marquis, a community center in Tualatin, Oregon.

The Queen of Peace project consisted of 7,600 SF of renovation and 5,400 SF of expansion to increase the size of their existing gathering area and provide flexible spaces for a variety of different uses.

Blanchet Catholic School approached CBTWO Architects to design an addition that would feature a new commercial kitchen, a large cafeteria and gathering hall, new locker rooms and flex space that would accomodate a number of different programs.

This 15,000 SF two-story addition included multiple spaces to support and expand the teen programming for the Boys & Girls Club. A high school regulation basketball court with multiple sport uses anchors the building programming. A large two-story volume multi-use activity space acts as a hub for study groups, club meetings, and community gatherings all supported by the coffee shop. The vocational training aspect of incorporating a coffee shop in the space has the added feature of bridging the Center for Teen Excellence with the younger membership of the primary facility. Access to the coffee shop for hot chocolate or smoothies is available for kids on in the main building through a connection at the Gym. The second floor healthcare center offers primary care and counseling services to all Boys & Girls Club members as a free service. This community outreach, supported by Good Samaritan Health Services, showcases the cornerstone role Boys & Girls Club plays to the youth in the Corvallis community.
