At Gateway Wellness Center in Livingston, the interior spaces are taking shape! Luxury vinyl plank and rubber flooring are being installed, while painting continues throughout the facility. Drywall work as well as the ACT ceiling grid are now complete. Basketball hoops and lockers are in place, and work continues in the pool areas as they prepare for tile and plaster.

The Big Sky Dental renovation transformed an outdated, constrained office into a bright, modern, and welcoming environment. The redesigned layout maximizes existing square footage, expands each treatment room, improves workflow and ergonomics, and brings in more natural light through larger windows.

Benefis North Tower has a new look since this building underwent a complete exterior renovation! The renovation included the installation of new ACM cladding and a vertical band of brick, as well as extending brick that is on the 2000's era concourse onto the original North Tower band. This extension of brick makes the existing concourse's facade blend cohesively with the newly renovated North Tower. This renovation also included the replacement of nearly 300 windows and new facade lighting that wraps around the top of the tower and down the center of the North facade, highlighting the beautiful building at night.

The construction progress photos from Gateway Wellness Center keep getting better! The building exterior and site are nearing completion, along with interior drywall, tile and paint. The pools are being prepped for tile and plaster, and the pool and mechanical equipment installation has begun. In the coming weeks we'll be seeing ceiling grid installation, basketball hoop installation, and the walking track floor!

We love seeing this facility come together in Livingston!

The Polson Middle School and High School buildings are just about ready to open their doors and welcome kids back to school next week! After a big construction push over the summer, the finishing touches are being put in place. We’re excited to see these spaces transition from construction sites into bustling hallways, classrooms, and gathering spaces filled with students and staff.

Back-to-school month is a great time to reflect on LPW's education projects that helped to build our community!

In the 1960s, we had the opportunity to create the plans for C.M. Russell High School in Great Falls. It's fascinating to look at these foam models and hand-drawn 3D perspectives that brought the vision for a new high school to life. These modeling and drawing techniques have not gotten much practice recently (unfortunately - or fortunately, depending on how you look at it!) with how much 3D modeling software has advanced.

Decades later, CMR continues to be an important part of our community, welcoming generations of students through its doors. We’re proud to have played a role in Great Falls history through this project, and even prouder to see the building continue to serve students and educators today and for generations to come.

Here’s to another great school year!

The new VA Clinic in Lewistown provides veterans in Central Montana with improved access to healthcare services in a modern, welcoming environment. This team was previously operating out of a 3,300 square foot space built in the 1950s. Their new building, about 6,100 square feet, has four exam rooms, including one designed specifically for women’s health. It also provides on-site lab services and telehealth for routine, specialty and mental health care.

This summer, we had the pleasure of having Mason Davis on staff as an architectural intern. Mason is entering his fourth year at Montana State University, studying Architecture.

Throughout the summer, Mason embraced every opportunity to learn and grow. Looking back on his experience, he shared, "Every day gave me an opportunity to learn beyond what is taught in school. I learned a lot architecturally, but the culture here showed me what strong collaboration looks like and the importance of surrounding yourself with people who care."

Mason is drawn to architecture because it blends creativity with rationality and gives him the opportunity to positively impact people's lives through design. As he heads into another year of school, he's looking forward to working with real clients and continuing to develop his ability to communicate design ideas in exciting and meaningful ways.

Mason was a tremendous help with 3D scanning buildings and drafting existing floor plans. We're grateful for his hard work, curiosity, and positive attitude throughout the summer.

Best wishes as you head into year #4 at MSU, Mason! Thank you for everything you did this summer, and we're excited to see where your future in architecture takes you!
