Athletic Facilities

Commercial / Industrial

Commercial and industrial projects reflect the vision of the organization that the project will serve. The projects typically reflect the times and strive to incorporate, and anticipate, trends in technologies for the built environment. These projects are investments that, in addition to being well planned and built, must show economic benefit. Balzhiser & Hubbard Engineers' experience with commercial and industrial projects includes both large a[..]

Detention / Justice

Detention facilities are, by and large, the only buildings designed and constructed to keep people housed with no access to the outside. Totally enclosed structures with permanent residents and providing all the amenities required of a small community, these buildings present unique challenges to design professionals that are far beyond that of standard buildings. All functions required to keep a small town supported are necessary: medical clini[..]

Higher Education

Balzhiser & Hubbard Engineers has a long history with Oregon colleges and universities. We were involved in the original construction of Lane Community College; we have worked on many buildings at Oregon State University; and we have worked on more than 500 projects at the University of Oregon, including the construction, renovation or upgrade of virtually every building, hall, complex, playing field / structure, and facility on the campus.[..]

Education > K-12

Balzhiser & Hubbard Engineers has provided engineering design to school districts from Medford to Tigard, from Brookings to Hermiston, and from Coos Bay to Burns.[..]

Healthcare

There has been a dramatic revolution in the past 20 years in the way healthcare is delivered. Changes in technology, shifts in demographics, advances in treatment and treatment delivery options, rising costs, and market influences on hospitals are but a few of the critical changes that affect those of us in the business of providing professional services to hospitals and other healthcare facilities. As a company with a large number of healthcare [..]

Housing

Residence halls present a unique challenge for design professionals as they typically have many (sometimes seemingly conflicting) requirements. They need to be very durable and maintainable and attractive. Systems need to be efficient, flexible in operation, reliable, and maintainable. All while staying within typically very tight economic constraints. Balzhiser & Hubbard Engineers has been providing our diverse range of engineering services [..]

Infrastructure / Utilities

Our public infrastructure improvement work has generally been a response to facilitate proposed development, whether a specific site or regional development. The purposes often vary from providing street connectivity, improving pedestrian and vehicle safety, accommodating increased traffic impacts, improving the condition of roadways, providing regional storm water treatment, rerouting existing systems, developing sewer systems in areas previousl[..]

Lighting

Balzhiser & Hubbard Engineers has fostered the development of a specialized lighting division as part of our electrical design services. This enhances our ability to address illumination aesthetics, energy effectiveness, evaluate and utilize the most applicable technologies, and speak to the myriad of other diverse issues regarding contemporary architectural lighting installations. Responsible for more than simply illuminating a room, a lighting [..]

Surveying

Nearly every project begins with a topographic design survey, which provides the basis for site and building design. It is critical to the overall project that the design topographic mapping be accurate and complete so all of the design work is based on an accurate representation of the existing property boundaries, topography, and site conditions. Without the topographic survey data, the design cannot proceed; therefore, it is imperitive the ini[..]

Sustainable Design

Since 1954, Balzhiser & Hubbard Engineers has applied appropriate engineering technology and practices to meet the individual needs of our clients. Sustainability extends to each of our major departments, with numerous LEED® Accredited Professionals in our mechanical, electrical and civil departments. Sustainable design for building projects requires that many different design disciplines work closely together to realize synergetic benefits [..]
