Design to encourage academic and personal growth.
Good design enhances the human experience and encourages academic and personal growth. For most students, a college campus is a life changing and immersive experience. Our role as architects is to design environments that encourage the best possible experience.

From Our Clients
“Soderstrom was able to listen to us as a client and deliver on a project with a short timeline. The design exceeds the physical needs of our campus and honors the collegiate heritage by physically defining a sense of purpose and academic tradition.”
Rev. John J. Donato, C.S.C. | Vice President for Student Affairs, University of Portland
“Soderstrom has been a valuable asset in getting us where we are today. They are at the top of my ranking of architects to work with based on how well they have responded with ideas, while still protecting the priorities of this building.”
Bill Jacques | Pence Construction, OSU Operations Facility
“I was impressed by the thoroughness of the Soderstrom team and their commitment in seeing the job through to completion without requesting additional design fees. Soderstrom delivered a great project while helping us to stay within budget. I would recommend them to other owners with similar projects.”
Christina Vinson, P.E. | Project Manager, Oregon State University
Design Principles
Enhance the Campus
Our buildings are designed to sensitively fit within their surroundings, and create a strong community image through the use of beautiful, durable materials. We take cues from existing buildings and the environment to enhance the distinct sense of place on campus.
Building Community
We believe public buildings should be proud representatives of their community. Our aim is to listen and learn about your district while providing tailored, expert recommendations for future growth.
Safety, Security, and Wellbeing
While creating safe and secure facilities, we also emphasize general occupant wellbeing. We want to protect your staff and students in a positive and nurturing space that they can look forward to seeing each day.
Collaborative Engagement
We work closely with your team of decision makers to prioritize and evaluate design solutions. Through stakeholder and community outreach, we ensure that all voices have an opportunity to contribute to a successful project.
Sense of Place
A school is more than just a series of classrooms. It represents a unique time in students’ lives that they will carry with them into adulthood. Our designs look for opportunities to excite and inspire.
