This building fulfilled a 10-year dream to return the Yurok tribe’s headquarters to their historic tribal lands along the Klamath River, and to consolidate their many administrative departments into one location. Rather than using the traditional method of hiring an architect, finishing plans, and soliciting bids, this client chose to request design/build proposals from qualified teams. Pacific Builders and David Pierce, architect, were selected from the field of seven applicants, based on preliminary design presentations, references, and experience.
