ORW Architecture and Opsis are thrilled to share that visitors to Medford’s annual Art in Bloom Festival have honored Rogue Community College’s Science Center on the Redwood Campus in Grants Pass with a 2025 AIA Oregon, Southern Oregon People’s Choice Award! This new building is a forward-thinking STEM facility that inspires exploration and innovation. Spanning 18,000 square feet, it replaces the outdated Elk Hall and centralizes science instruction for students across RCC’s regional campuses. The layout thoughtfully places science labs, faculty offices, student commons, and flexible classrooms around a centralized lab prep core. This design fosters operational efficiency and encourages informal collaboration between students and faculty.
