2011.08.13  :  The Second Harvest project broke ground today. Major construction is set to be completed by the end of November, and installation of the new sort-line equipment to be done in December. Starting next year, the remodel will allow the hunger-relief network to increase distribution from 20.7 million pounds of food a year to 30 million. Thanks to Second Harvest for allowing Pondera Architecture to contribute to their mission of helping those in need.

2011.05.16  :  Pondera Architecture has been awarded the contract to design the interior remodel for Second Harvest's main Spokane facility. The interior remodel is +/2,500sf and includes a new sort-line room and volunteer center, along with updating the main lobby, re-working access to the second-floor office space, and a general freshening of all the interior office space.

2011.02.23  :  Pondera Architecture has been awarded the contract to design the Spokane Valley Fire Department's new Fire Station #6, located at 6306 East Sprague Avenue. This new station will replace the existing one – built back in the 60s – and will be a single-story structure roughly 7,600sf in size. It's designed to accommodate service for the SFVD's needs for the next 50 years, and features a double drive-through truck bay and working/living spaces for two four-man crews.

2011.01.31  :  Pondera Architecture has finished the design for Aunt Bee's Honeycomb Daycare, located at 1215 Thayer Drive in Richland. Work is scheduled to be completed in April for this 2,900sf conversion of existing office space. The daycare will accommodate 60-65 children, from infants to toddlers to 10-year-olds. Design highlight: Pondera's thorough code analysis revealed the building owner could add fire barrier walls instead of a complete sprinkler system, which translated into a savings of $55,000.
