Yesterday’s Red Cross blood drive in the Bissinger Room was a huge success – volunteers were able to collect 36 units of blood for those who need it in our community. A huge thanks to Coffman Engineers for partnering with us, the American Red Cross, and all who volunteered their time and resources to donate.
“Great design is not just a solution, it is the elimination of the problem.” – M. Cobanli
Our multi-disciplinary design process involves those with different expertise to approach each problem using their unique skill sets. This gives our team greater opportunity to find the best solution for the client and those who will use the space – with the hope of eliminating the problems altogether.

Landscape architecture is being provided by the Bernardo Wills Architects landscape architect team. This project incorporates Native American medicinal plantings, and they will be used for interpretation and to assist the GU Medical School with their curriculum. These plantings will occur next Spring, with project completion estimated for May 2022.

We are soaking up every nice day at the Ice Age Floods Playground before the rain starts! Have you visited the playground this fall? While the splash pad may be off for the season, fun is still on with the playground, wheels park, and basketball courts.

We had a great time celebrating the Grand Opening of the ICCU Arena at the University of Idaho last weekend. The new ICCU Arena is an amazing addition to campus, and we are honored to have had a part in its design. Bernardo Wills Architects provided landscape architecture services to Opsis Architecture. Our designers coordinated with the civil engineer on issues such as site finish grading, pedestrian and ADA access routes, parking arrangements, hardscape areas, planting schemes, and site irrigation. We are thrilled with the project result and congratulate the University of Idaho administration, facilities department, and students (the Arena’s biggest donors) on this incredible addition that will serve generations to come. #GoVandals
