The design competition assignment for 2009 is a ReEntry Center in Corvallis Oregon for
emancipated youth over 18 years old who were formerly foster children. These young
adults were put into the Foster care process through no fault of their own. These youth
are a largely neglected group that has little support in housing, education, and
employment. In addition to providing housing and social spaces for foster graduates,
the proposed design solution is to provide retail spaces as well as a ReEntry Center that
would be operated by county social workers. A frugal and resource-efficient design
approach should make this project sustainable and economically viable.
The small-town urban context of the flat site is to be a primary design parameter. The
site is approximately one quarter of a block in the 150-year-old center of Corvallis at the
NE corner of 4th and Jefferson. The mission is to design a facility that accommodates
the safe, accessible and secure setting for living and learning from which the young
adults can transition into the challenging world beyond the site. The historic context
should be honored, but the design should also look toward the future.

The Willamette valley environment provides a setting where the harvesting, conservation
and recycling of energy, water and materials is particularly important. The proposed
designs should make these processes explicit and incorporate the programmatic and
environmental elements into a unified solution.
