PIVOT’s services go beyond traditional design. Our philosophy is to bring robust support to our clients, meeting needs before they arise, and finding 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 and make a difference; 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—and we'll figure it out together.

Capital Planning

We have been involved in many aspects of helping public and private clients raise capital for projects throughout Oregon. Methods have included grant applications, appealing to the Oregon Legislature, creating graphics for fundraising, presenting to boards and the public, and more.

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.
