PIVOT’s services go beyond traditional design. Our philosophy is bringing robust support to our clients, meeting needs as they arise, and seeking innovative solutions to the challenges faced by the people and communities we serve.

Ever find yourself saying, "I didn't know architects did that?" Well, many of PIVOT's clients share that sentiment. That's because, first and foremost, we are problem solvers. When something falls outside the traditional architectural boundaries we use design thinking to solve issues, make a difference, and improve things. That's in our ethos. From designing new buildings to grant management to supporting applied learning programs, if you need solutions to an uncharted issue, let us help you—we'll figure it out together.

PIVOT works with partners such as Stanford d.school and the Harwood Institute to support executive teams in developing strong strategies to advance strategic initiatives

Facility Planning and Assessments

With ODE-certified TAP assessors, PIVOT has performed inspections for a number of school districts in Oregon. With these assessments, we help districts plot road maps for the future of their facilities and create plans of action for their most crucial needs. The PIVOT team also has a deep understanding of the facility planning process and knows how to reflect the community’s values in school projects.
