Good work

Did you know the striking gazebo out at the Klamath County Youth Sports Complex was built by OIT students, a member of the Civil Engineering faculty and several local general contractors?

Civil Engineering’s Dr. Ken Kellogg led the efforts of the student group: Joey Anderson, Nicole Bigoni, Sarah Bryan, Loren Cole, Brittany Garton, Michael Goff, Stephen Herrmann, Gregory Hufford, Pam McGowan and Tom Slimak.

The students helped create plans for the structure and were involved with the hands-on building of the gazebo. They worked with a variety of professionals from throughout the Klamath community.

Community participants were Anderson Builders, Bogatay Construction, Heaton Steel and Supply, Horizon Contractors, Horizon Erectors, Klamath Pacific and Lumberman’s. Gordon Dahl of Lumberman’s provided all of the materials for last year’s creation of old-fashioned building facades for Centennial Days and the gazebo.

Wayne Scott built the pressure ring for the roof supports with plate steel provided by Heaton Steel.

The annual Civil Engineering community project is completed in association with the members of the Associated General Contractors. There is a steel sign embedded in the gazebo’s foundation recognizing the various contributors to the project.
