ColeBreit Engineering provided full mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering services for the renovation of Loso Hall at Eastern Oregon University in La Grande, Oregon. Delivered under a design-build, guaranteed maximum price (GMP) contract with Waterleaf Architecture and Kirby Nagelhout Construction Company, the project modernized an academic and performing arts facility while maintaining cost certainty and constructability.
The scope included comprehensive upgrades to HVAC systems, electrical distribution and lighting, and plumbing infrastructure serving classrooms, rehearsal spaces, theaters, and support areas. Modern building systems were integrated within an existing structure, requiring detailed coordination to accommodate performance-space requirements alongside legacy infrastructure constraints.
Close collaboration among the design-build team aligned system performance with budget, schedule, and installation sequencing. The result is a modernized higher education facility equipped with reliable, code-compliant MEP systems that support both academic instruction and performing arts programming.
